[Right side:]
God helps them that
help themselves ·
lost time is never found
again · He that lives
upon hope will die
fasting · If you
would not be forgotten
as soon as you are
dead and rotten
either write
things worthy
reading, or do
things worth
the writing ·
He that's secure is
not safe · There
is no little enemy ·
A penny saved is
a penny earned ·
Necessity never made
a good bargain ·
Don't throw stones
at your neighbors
if your own windows
are glass ·

[Back:]
Dost thou love life? Then
do not squander time; for
that's the stuff life is made of
There never was a good war
or a bad peace · Without
courage justice is weak ·
they that



can give up essential
liberty to obtain a little
temporary safety deserve
neither liberty nor safety ·
Little strokes fell great
oaks · When the wells dry,
we know the worth of water ·
Experience keeps a dear
school but fools will learn
in no other way · Three
may keep a secret if two of
them are dead · Work as
if you were to live a hundred
years, pray as if you were to
die tomorrow · Keep your eyes
wide open before marriage,
half shut afterwards ·
Blame all and praise all
are two block heads · We
must all hang together
or assuredly we shall all
hang separately ·
