    (continued from previous page)
    Cheerfulness is sunshine in the home.
    All light tasks were heavy at first.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    A bird in the hand is better than two in a bush.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Between two stools you will come to the ground.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
