    (continued from previous page)
    A hand full of road dust in May is worth a Kings answer ... (Ransom? F.H,)
    God helps those who help themselves.
    You will never miss the water till the well goes dry,
    A standing dog gathers no bones.
    A fool and his money soon part.
    It is never too late to begin.

  2. Proverbs

    Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    There is no hearth like your own hearth.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    Kind words don't wear the tongue.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Business first pleasure after.
    Be just before you are generous.
