    (continued from previous page)
    till the well runs dry
    The darkest hour is that before the dawn
    It is a long lane had no turn
    Marry in May you will rue the day
    If the world frowns on us the sun shines on us
    A castle of stones is better than a castle of bones
    Bend the twig bend the tree
    Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt
    Better be an old man's pet than a young man's slave
    Never give up an old friend for a new one
    If you want to know me come live with me
    Be just before your generous
    Marry in haste and repent in leisure
    Health is better than wealth
    Sense doesn't come before age
    Take care of your work
    It is a bad third attempt
