   (continued from previous page)

   To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
   He who slings mud is losing land.
   Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
   Better late than never.
   Saying and doing are two things.
   After a storm there comes a calm.
   Liars ought to have good memories.
   A crust of bread and liberty.
   To err is human to forgive divine.
   Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
   Fare and easy goes far in the day.
   Dont claim your right till you know your strength.
   Look before you leap.
   You can't get blood from a turnip.
   You will never miss the water till the well goes dry.
   Satan finds some mischief for the idle hands to do.
   All that glitters is not gold.
   A fool and his money is easy parted.
   It is the idle that grows weary.
   Never judge a book by the cover.
   Fine feathers make fine birds.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
