  1. God is never nearer in any house than the door. Money is the root of all evil. Say what you have to say directly. Always look before you leap. Honesty is the best policy. galar gan naire is ead an tart. True potery is the best company. Learn without pride, and you will make an owl wise.
    quitness is the best happness,
    a penny wise, and a pound follish.
    Used people are always bright.
