  1. 59 Time will tell.
    60 Where there is a will there is a way.
    61 The devil you know is better than the devil you do not know.
    62 It is better late than never
    63 Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    64 Speak when spoken to.
    65 The nearest way is the longest in the end.
    66 Think twice before you speak.
    67 The darkest hour is before dark, down.
    68 A good turn deserves another
    69 Blood will tell.
    70 You never miss your mother till she is buried beneath the clay.
