Old Sayings.
Work is better than talk.
Your pocket is your friend.
Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
One beetle knows another beetle.
" penny knows another.
A new brush sweeps clean.
" full purse makes a light heart.
An empty sack doesn't stand.
A slow fire makes sweet malt.
A Knave is one Knave but a fool is many.
A Lie has no legs.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A penny saved is a penny gained.(continues on next page)- Collector
