- There is no use in crying for spilt milk.
Wilful waste makes great want.
A wrinkled purse a (w) wrinkled face.
Tell me your company and I will tell you who you are
The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.
Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
For the want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost
For the want of a horse the man was lost
And all for the want of a nail in a shoe.
Strile the iron while it is hot.
You'll never miss the water until the well runs dry.
Too late to spare when all is spent.(continues on next page)
