- (continued from previous page)Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Hard as work is, want is harder.
Punctuality is the hinge of business.

Hunger is good sauce.
When the cats are out, the mice can play.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Many hands make light work.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
He is a bad dog that is not worth whistling for.
No story is better than a bad one.
Distant hills appear green.
A new broom sweeps clean
People in glass houses cannot afford to throw stones.(continues on next page) - Collector
