  1. (continued from previous page)
    What we think is the worst turns out to be the best.
    Best of good are made up in a small parcel.
    A liar wants a good memory.
    It takes a thief to catch a thief.
    Saying and doing are two different things.
    The cat in gloves catches no mice.
    I will tell you a story and a story that is true, if you love God, God will love you.
    After the storm comes the calm.
    Empty vessels never leak.
    Do not ride a free horse to death. There is not use to cry over spilt milk.
