    (continued from previous page)
    A thread will tie an honest man better than a rope will tie a rogue.
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    Learning and manners are charming companions.
    Will waste makes woeful want.
    Have a thing yourself or be without it.
    It is better be out of the world than out of the fashion.
    Better late than ever.
    Saving and spending are two different things.
