  1. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard.
    A watched pot never boils.
    Make haste slowly.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A good woman is better than fortune.
    Unless you strive you cannot succeed.
    Always be true to thy word.
    What is home without a mother.
    Cheerfullness is sunshine in a home.
    Allways have the good word for everyone.
    Never do to another what you would not like to have done to yourself.
