   (continued from previous page)

   The sun may be shining tomorrow although it looks cloudy to day.
   Deep waters flow smooth and the mud lies at the bottom.
   Never give up the old for the new.
   All is not gold that glitters.
   It is never too late to mend. It is too late to spare when all is spent.
   Honesty is the best policy.
   One good turn deserves another.
   It's hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
   Grown old grown worse.
   The darkest hour is the hour before the dawn.
   It is an ill wind that favours nobody.
   A new broom sweeps clean but the old one scrapes better.
