  1. Proverbs
    6-11-38
    All work & no play make Jack a dull boy.
    A little pot is soon hot.
    Hunger is the best sauce.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
    Grasp all lose all.
    Waste not want not.
    If you would enjoy the fruit the fruit pluck not the flowers.
    Touch wood.
    Its easier said than done.
    Laziness did I ever offend you.
    The thing that God wishes to happen all do so in their own time.
    If you make others happy you are well on the road to making them good.
    No one can grow whose thoughts are self centred.
