    (continued from previous page)
    Time once lost can never be recalled
    It's too late to spare when all is spent
    Be wise be-ware of blotting take care.
    What is worth doing atall is worth doing well.
    The more the merrier
    Don't take the low way while you have a high-way
    Out of sight out of mind
    Never send a gasúr in a man's place
    A fox never gets a messenger better than himself
    The walls have ears
    The darkest hour is the hour before dawn
    Always do what is right for out of darkness there
