   (continued from previous page)

   Silence is golden.
   Familiarity breaths contempt.
   Little said is easy mended.
   A good beginning is half the work.
   Money is the root of all evil.
   The early bird catches the early worm.
   Out of the frying pan into the fire.
   Between the devil and the deep sea.
   Early to bed, early to rise, is the way to be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
   Pulling the bull by the tail.
   Never judge the book by the cover.
   Empty vessels make most sound.
   Great cry and little wool.
   Looking for a needle in a bundle of straw.
   What is scarce is sweet.
   Necessity is the mother of invention.
   Necessity has no law.
   Out of debt out of danger.
   Be it ever so nice there is no place like home.
   Out of sight out of mind.
   Experience teaches.
   Obedience is the bond of rule.
   The good thing is never dear.
