- Brevity is the soul of wit.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
After sorrow comes joy.
All's not lost that is in danger.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
Time and tide wait on nobody.
Sleep is the image of death.
After a storm comes a calm
All is not gold that glitters.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Make hay while the sin shines.
As you sow you must reap.
Look before you leap.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Rise with the lark and with him to bed.
Kind hearts are more than coronets.
A liar you can never trust even if he speaks the truth.
Never choose a book by the cover.
It is never too late to learn.
An old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path.
Beauty never boiled a pot.
Fine feathers make fine birds.(continues on next page)
