- (continued from previous page)None so deaf as he that will not hear.
None so blind as he who will not see.
Root but proud.
It's better to be mean than at loss.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day
Handsome is that handsome does.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
Many hands make light work.
Look before you leap.
Speech is silver; silence is golden.
All is not gold that glitters.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Empty vessels make most sound.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Money makes the mare go.
Waste not! Want not.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Put a beggar on horse-back and he will ride to the devil.
Hell is paved with good intentions
Never venture: never win
It is better to be a good listener than a great talker.(continues on next page)
