  1. There is no use crying over spilt milk.
    Better slip aith the foot than with the tongue.
    A penny spent wisely is better than a pound spent foolish.
    Absence make the heart grow fonder.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. A good character is better than riches.
    Prosperity gains friend but adversity loses them.
    Soft words serve in hot arguments.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
