- (continued from previous page)A good character is better than a good fortune.
A lie has no legs.
Laugh and the world laughs with you.
Weep and you weep alone.
Where there is a will there is a way.
A penny saved is a penny gained.
Debt is the worst kind of poverty.
It is good to begin well but better to end well.
Wide will wear, but tight will tear.
Small leaks sink great ships.
One years seeding nine years weeding.
Kind words cost us nothing.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Health is better wealth.
Do not rise too high for fear of a fall.
When the weather is clear of your cloak take care.
A slow fire makes sweet malt.
Speaking correctly if you speak at all.
