    (continued from previous page)
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Beg from a beggar and you will never be rich.
    It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
    There is no fireplace like your own
    Never put off till to - morrow what you can do to - day.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
    When you are in Paris do what Paris does.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread
    Early to bed
    Early to rise
    Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    When the wind rises it is not the time to cut the scallop.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    The cows far away have long horns.
    Little things are great to little men.
