    (continued from previous page)
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush. Many hands make light work.
    A real friend shares your troubles, multiplies your joys, and halves your misfortunes. Happy are those who do not want the things they cannot get. The best remedy for anger is a little time for thought. Pay as you go and if you can't pay don't go. Gentle words fall lightly but they have great weight.
