  1. (continued from previous page)
    jest should not make one. It is not big stones alone that build a castle. Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other. Every dog is a pup until it hunts. Hunger is a good sauce. A place for everything and everything in its place. Where there is a will there is a way. The early bird catches the early worm. Empty barrels make most sound. Wine is sweet but its price is bitter. The taste of truth is bitter.
