  1. (continued from previous page)
    Honesty is the best policy.
    Two heads are better than one.
    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
    Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
    The child is father of the man.
    Bird of a feather flock together.
    Bend the twig and it will fall.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    Used keys are always bright.
    There is no place like home.
    Perseverance brings victory.
    A fool and his money are soon parted.
    The kings are like stars they rise and set they have the worship of the world to do but no repose.
    One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
