  1. Cheerfulness is sunshine in a home.
    Do your you duty leave the rest to (go) God.
    Never have a hole made for your money before you get it
    Don't buy a pig in a bag.
    Oblige every-one as much as you can.
    Truth is you fariest guiding star.
    Your son is your son today but your daughter forever
    Tell me your company and I'll tell you who you are.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    There are reasons for everything and currants for a cake.

  2. A glutton lives to eat, a wise man eats to live
    Coming events cast their shadows before.
    Courage is half the battle
    What you wont see, wont sicken you.
    What you wont hear wont trouble you.
    The mob are ever pleased with variety.
    Property has its duties as well as its rights.
