    (continued from previous page)
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
    The help of God is nearer than the door
    A half loaf is better than no bread
    Children should be seen and not heard.
    Life is a garden, every thought a seed
    Never make a joke unless you can take one.
    Show me a liar and I will show you a thief.
    Listen to the old person whom you think have knowledge.
    Always look before you leap.
    Many are called but few are chosen.
    There is a silver lining in every cloud
