- Where there's smoke there's fire.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
God helps those that help themselves.
It is a long road that has no turning.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Temperance and labour are the two best physicians.
Make haste slowly.
The foundation of true joy is consience.
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
It is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born.
The greatest oaks have been little acorns.
Many hands make light work.
The whole ocean is made of single drops.
Constant dropping wears the stone.
The grandest thing in the world is plain truth.
Great hopes make great men.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
A new brush sweeps clean.
Empty vessels make most sound.
No morning sun lasts a whole day.
Lost time is never found again.
