- (continued from previous page)All is not gold that glitters.
It is a long lane that has no turning.
Praise a fair day at night.
Give honour where honour is due.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Show me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
There is more in the head than a comb will take out.
You can't put an old head on young shoulders.
He laughs last who laughs best.
Smooth waters run deep.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A proverb is the wisdom of many and the wit of one.
A use for every thing and every thing to its proper use.
A place for every thing and every thing in its proper place.
As you brew, you must bake.
A slow fire makes sweet malt.
A straw best shows how the wind blows.
A wrinkled purse, a wrinkled face.
As the fool thinketh, so the bell clinketh.
A lie has no legs.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A good when lost is valued most.
A penny saved is a penny gained.
A little more breaks a horse's back.
A glutton lives to eat; a wise man eats to live(continues on next page)
