6 Am I making myself clear?
CHAPTER 5A1 A is for Adages that can help you live better,
2 And more wisely too,
3 Because there's a lot of wisdom in old adages like the ones I live by,
4 Such as,
5 aA penny saved is a penny earned,
6 bPenny-wise and pound-foolish,
7 cA fool and his money are soon parted,
8 dA bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,
9 eMake hay while the sun shines,
10 fA stitch in time saves nine,
11 gThere's no fool like an old fool,
12 hThere's more than one way to skin a cat,
13 iYou can't teach an old dog new tricks,
14 jAn apple a day keeps the doctor away,
15 kEarly to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise,
16 lYou can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink,
17 mDon't throw the baby out with the bathwater,
18 If wishes were horses, nbeggars would ride,
19 oThose who forget their history are doomed to repeat the pcourse,

20 qClothes make the man,
21 rOnce burned, twice shy,
22 sMoney is the root of all evil,
23 tAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,
24 Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me,
25 uAnother day, another dollar,
26 vCheaters never win,
27 wMoney can't buy happiness,
28 xHaste makes waste,
29 yTime waits for no man,
30 zIdle hands are the devil's plaything,
31 aaIt takes one to know one,
32 bbBoys will be boys,
33 ccStuff a cold and starve a fever,
34 ddIt's the early bird that gets the worm.
35 eeA friend in need is a friend indeed,
36 ffDon't put off till tomorrow what you can do today,
37 ggSpare the rod and spoil the child,
38 hhDon't cry over spilt milk,
39 iiBuild a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door,
40 jjBirds of a feather flock together,
41 Don't believe anything you read, and only half of what you see,
42 kkIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,
43 llIt is more blessed to give than to receive,
44 Which is probably the best one,
45 If you can manage to live up to it.
CHAPTER 5B1 B is for the mmBible, which everybody should know,
