- (continued from previous page)To hope and strive in the way to thrive.
If you want a thing done do it yourself.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Play the game and fear not.
One story is good until another is told
Truth is a rock large enough for all to stand upon.
Neither listen to, nor tell secrets.
Long in bed does little work.
The all stitch together like Micky Day's tailor.
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
One good trick is worth 10 bad ones
Where there's a will there's a way.
There is no place like home.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
The quickness of the hand deceives the eye.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip
