    (continued from previous page)
    Never put off until to morrow what you can do to day.
    Don't put in your spoon where there is no porridge.
    A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
    There is [s?] no tomorrow.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    The (eaa) early bird catches the worm.
    Handle your tools without mittens
    The cat with gloves catches no mice.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    A straw best shows how the wind blows.
    Many a slip between the cup and the lip
    Fox sent no better messanger than himself.
    Far away fields look green
    All thing come to those that wait.
    A used key is always bright
    Strike the iron while it is hot.
