    (continued from previous page)
    Do a thing once and it is done forever.
    A long pull a strong pull, and a pull forever.
    Sense does'nt come before age
    A light heart lives long.
    Heaven is our true home
    The river runs according to its bed.
    Good goods in small parcels.
    Long treatning comes at last.
    Occupation prevents temptation
    Never say die.
    Before you reach the top you first must climb the hill.
