    (continued from previous page)
    All you do, as with your might,
    things done by half are never done right.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    There is many a slip twixt the cup and the lips.

  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Still water runs deep.
    A silent tongue makes a wise head.
    It's never too late to mend.
    Those who are accompanied by kind thoughts are never alone.
    To cultivate kind thoughts is cheap
    but friendship you will richly reap.
    Keep cool no matter what life brings,
    When things get hot the kettle sings.
    Where there's a will there's a way.
    If a little knowledge is dangerous
    where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger.
    Charity begins at home but should not end there
