- A bad weed grows quickly.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
Wilful waste makes woeful want
Do not shout cuckoo till you are out of the wood.
You might as well be out of the world as out of the fashion.
Your pocket is your best freind
Never put back until tomorrow, what you can do to-day.
You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
The want of decency is want of sence.
Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Stoppage of money is no payment.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Constant dripping wears a stone.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
Too many cook spoil the broth.(continues on next page)- Informant
