  1. (continued from previous page)
    putting nothing in soon goes to the bottom.
    The lamb is the sheep far away.
    A hen is heavy when you carry her far.
    It is never too late to learn.
    It is not the big men who always reap the harvest.
    Sweet are the uses of adversity.
    You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
    If you give an inch of his own way to a child he will take a mile.
    He who helps the poor shall never want.
    A shower in summer lasts only a half hour.
