    Old Proverbs
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    The rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Closed mouth catches no flies.
    Lifes real wealth consists of little things.
    Provide for the worst the best will save itself.
    A soul filled with vanity has no room for charity.
    A false profession will mean no better than a wise fool.
    A man with small views imagines himself the biggest thing in creation.
    Many a strong heart has been broken by a gently top of charity.
    Real greatness does not depend on the things we do, but on the mind with which we do them.
