- (continued from previous page)We learn by experience.
There's truth in wine.
Work is better than talk.
There is no tree without a rotten branch.
Take things always by the smooth handle.
Work is good and brings reward,
A good character is better than a good fortune.
Pride always gets a fall.
Look before you leap.
- BIrds of a feather flock together.
Far away cows wear long horns.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
It is no use crying over spilt milk.
Curiosity kills the cat, information makes him fat.
Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies, inquisitive people are never made wise.
It is never too late to mend but it is always too late to spare when all is spent.
It is better to be born lucky than rich.(continues on next page)
