- Never take a book by the cover,
Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves,
Too wrongs never made a right,
A civil tongue never made a sour mouth,
Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you,
Too is company three is none,
Where there's a will there's a way,
It takes too to make a quarrel,
You will never miss the water till the well goes dry,
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone,
Many hands make light work,
Never disoblige yourself to oblige others,
Familiarity breeds contempt,
Your pocket is your best friend,
Its better live in hopes than die in despair,
One good turn deserves an other,
Never grasp at too much or you will loose all,(continues on next page)- Collector
