    (continued from previous page)
    Time and patience brought the snail to Jerusalem.
    Rome was never built in a day.
    Charity begins at home.
    Better late than ever.
    Wounders never ceased.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    Better a foolish than a wise enemy.
    Eyes and no eyes.
    Work is better than talk. A new broom sweeps clean.
    Lost time is never found again.
    Praise the fine day at night.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    Debt is worse kind of poverty
    He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    Saying and doing are two things
