  1. (continued from previous page)
    For the want of a nail the shoe was lost.
    Pride is so loud as a beggar in want.
    Kind hearts are more than coronets.
    A good start is half the work.
    We have not here a lasting city.
    Kind words cost nothing.
    Be good sweet maid, and let who will be clever.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    When you have work to do. Do it with a will.
    United we stand. United we fall.
    Be kind to the old and weak.
    Be kind to birds, dumb animals and everything.
    Misfortune comes only to the wealthy.
    Little things on little wings, lead many a soul to heaven.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Minute by minute so passes the day.
    Used keys are always bright.
