  1. (continued from previous page)
    Coming events cast their shadows before.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    There is good goods in small parcel.
    It is never too late to mend
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Fair and easy goes far in the day.
    Once a man and twice a child.
    More haste less speed.
    Health is better than wealth.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    Everyone has his own story.
    An egg to-day is better than an ox to-morrow.
    A long laugh and a good sleep are two best cures in a Doctor's Book.
    Don't judge the first story till the second story catches you.
    Where women are there is talk.
