    (continued from previous page)
    Many hands make light work
    The more haste the less speed
    Waste not, want not
    Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt
    Far away hills are green
    Foreign cows have long horns
    Nesscesity is the mother of invention
    Half a loaf is better than no bread
    All that glitters is not gold
    Judge not a book by the cover
    It's never late to mend
    No place is dull only to the dull minded
    An army marches on its stomach
    Where there is a will there is a way
    Never miss the water till the well runs dry
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise
