  1. (continued from previous page)
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    All is well that ends well.
    Light anothers candle but don't put your own out.
    Always look at the bright side.
    When you die your trumpeter will be buried.
    A hungry eye sees far.
    Courage is half the battle of life.
    A good character is better than a great fortune.
    No word is more used and less understood than happiness.
    We know the worth of the water when the well goes dry.
    A wise man changes his mind sometime, but a fool never.
    Far away fields look green.
    An orange in the night, keeps the nurse out of sight.
    Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    The world could not make a racehorse out of a donkey.
    If you don't sow in Spring you will not reap in Autumn.
    A wise man carries his coat on a good day
