- All is not gold that glitters
A hungry eye can see far.
All is not lost that is in danger.
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
Never leave off till tomorrow what you can do to day.
Always taking from the meal tub and never putting in soon comes to the bottom.
Silks and satins velvets and cattons often put out the kitchen fire.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Bought with is the best wit ever you had.
If life was a thing money would buy the rich would live and the poor would die.
A stitch in time saves nine.
- Hurry, hurry rush and worry at sixty - five.(continues on next page)
