  1. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
    It is foolish to quarrel with ones bread and butter.
    A cracked plate may last as long as a sound one.
    Never sign any writing until you have read it.
    What is one man's food is another man's poison.
    Chickens should not be counted until they are hatched.
    Seek till you find and you will not lose your labour.
    He who receives a good turn should never forget it.
    Let not your tongue cut your throat.
    Don't leave until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Knowledge is no burden.
    As the cook is, so is the kitchen.
