  2. Old Sayings
    Charity begins a home. Many hands make light work. June is the month of roses. Never put off 'til to-morrow what you can do today. The longer you'll live the more you'll know. Better late than ever. A word in the court is better than a pound in your purse. One look before you is better than two behind. Too late to mend when all is spent.
