  1. Proverbs
    Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. When there is a will there is a way. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Unless you strive you cannot succeed. Its a poor heart never rejects. Idleness is a short road to misery. Little neglect means much mischief. Habits may gain a Samson's strength. Jests misplaced make hearers frown. Children and fools beware of edged tools. Be sure you are right then go ahead. The good alone are happy Kind words turn away anger.
