  1. (continued from previous page)
    words is ten times double so
    There are two ways of doing things as everyone supposes some turn up their sleeves and work and some turn up there noses.
    It's all very well to laugh and grin when life goes like a song but it takes a man to laugh when everything goes wrong.

  2. You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
    The good thing is never dear.
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    Hunger is a good sauce
    Show me your company and I'll tell you what you are
    All work and no play
