- Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on.
Make hay while th sun shines.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
Strike the iron while it is hot.
Take the ball at the first hop.
Never do to-day what you will be sorry for to-morrow.
Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.
Command of hand is grand.
The rosy looking apple may be rotten at the core.
The road of bye and bye leads to the house of never.
The longest way around is the nearest way home.
The more hurry the less speed.
It takes the chip of the oak to split the trunk.(continues on next page)
