    (continued from previous page)
    The law of borrowing is to break the borrower.
    A friend in need is a friend in deed.
    Hunger is the best sauce.
    There can't be smoke without a fire.
    Throw not good money after bad.
    Little dogs start the hare but great ones catch him.
    If you can not say a good thing say nothing.
    A closed mouth catches no flies.
    Be afraid and there is no danger of you.
    Wide will wear but light will tear.
