    (continued from previous page)
    Respect cannot be bought.
    Have not thy cloak to make when it begins to rain.
    Too much knowledge is never a load.
    A half loaf is better than no bread.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    The longest road is the surest.
    Health is better than wealth.
    The best horse wins the race.
