- (continued from previous page)The round road is the shortest way home
Economy is half the battle of life. Think twice before you speak race Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut
An inch is as good as a mile
It is not easy put an old head on young shoulders
Great talkers are never great doers
Empty vessels make the most sound
New brooms sweep clean
Blood is thicker than water
Praise the youth and it will come
Wilful waist makes woeful want
It is easier build two chimney than keep one in five
A cow wants her tail more than once in the year
He that loveth the danger thall parish there in
Never give the old for the new
Never throw out the dirty water(continues on next page)
