- (continued from previous page)Kind words never die, they must be spoken before they live.Better an ounce of liberty than a pound of gold.All who joy would win, must share it.Happiness was born a twin.He who digs a grave for others, often falls into it himself.Sympathy without relief is like mustard without beef.
- Two heads are better than one.A good character is better than a great fortune.We know the worth of water when the well runs dry.A heavy purse makes a light heart.A new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows the corners best.The best colt needs breaking in.Fine feathers make fine birds.A closed mouth makes a wise head.More haste less speed.He who hurts the little wren shall never be beloved by men.(continues on next page)
