  1. (continued from previous page)
    Laugh and the world will laugh with you.
    Weep and you will weep alone.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    No matter how long the day is, the night will come.
    Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
    The end must justify the means.
    On their merits modest men are dumb.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Too late to spare when all is spent.
    Many hands make light work.
    Take the ball at the hop.
    Satan finds some mischief still
