- (continued from previous page)God helps those who help themselves.
a mans house is his castle
a thing of beuaty is a joy for ever
Wealth is superfluity of what we dont need.
Man proposes but god disposes
Coming events cast their shadows before
Look before you leap
Where ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise
The paths of glory lead out to the grave.
Property has its duties as well as it rights
Knowledge is a power
Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.
The mob are ever pleased with variety.
Fools make feast but wise men eat them
You can fool all the world some time and some of the world all the time but you cant fool all the world all the time.
Stop talking and get on with the work
Were one at heart if you be irelands friend
Yes better to go to bed supperless than use in debt
a life of pleasure is the most unpleasuring life in the world.
As the twig is bent the tree is inclined
He laughs best who laughs last.(continues on next page)
