  1. (continued from previous page)
    as you sow your seed, so shall you reap your harvest.
    People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
    Better late than never.
    As you rear your pup, you shall have your dog.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. A stitch in time saves nine. All is not gold that glitters.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to day.
    Little said is easiest mended.
    Be kind to the old man while strong in thy youth.
    When you give your might give it with a will.
    Never push the poor man when he is going down the hill.
    Charity begins at home.
