- (continued from previous page)162The jewel that is difficult to find is the most beautiful.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.Name: Victor Gainfort.
- Health is better than wealth.
Empty vessels make most sound.
A stitch in time saves nine.
You can't put an old head on young shoulders.
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
You can't have your loaf and eat it.
Cows over the sea have long horns.
Strike while the iron is hot.
A little pot is soon hot
Two heads are better than one.
Many hands make light work.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Early to bed and early to rise is the way to be healthy, wealthy and wise.
Hills far away are green.
Half a loaf is better than none.
A bird in a hand is worth two
in a bush.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
A wise son makes a glad father.(continues on next page) - Collector
