  1. Manners should adorn one's conduct.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you.
    Open minds make observant scholars.
    Poor are they who have not patience.
    Quiet perseverance gains the prize.
    Speak correctly if you speak at all.
    Nothing worthy is ever lightly won.
    The longest way round is the nearest way home.
    Say nothing but the truth.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Tis a longer road has no turning.
    He is crankey as the devil.
    He is long as a wet Sunday.
    As dry as a cork.
    As hungry as a plough man.
