- (continued from previous page)have a thankless child
Hurt not any animal for sport
Half a loaf is better than no bread
It is never too late to learn
Keep a thing it's use will come
Look before you leap
Laziness is a heavy load
Love and a cough cannot be hid
make hay while the sun shines
Many hands make light work
It's not the most lovely woman who has the most senseBetty Patterson
- As the old cock crows the young one learns
A shower in April brings forth May flowers
A little pot keeps hot
A covetous man is ever in want
Be just before you are generous
Be not weary in well doing
Reap when you sow
Do little and do well
Fair and softly goes far in a day
Common fame is seldom to blame
Never trust a July sky
Never too late to learn
Practice before you preach
Say little and say well(continues on next page) - Collector
