  1. (continued from previous page)
    Economy is half the battle of life.
    Whats worth doing at all is worth doing well.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Early to bed, early to rise,
    makes a man healthy, wealthy,
    and wise.
    One's man's meat is another man's poison.
    You never know the want of water
    till the well goes dry.
    A watched pot never boils.
    A word in the court is worth
    a pound in the purse.
    Empty vessels makes most sound.
    Procrastination is the theif of time
