Select
Proverbs
For the use of
Children.
A Fool's Bolt is soon shot. A good Beginning, a good Ending.
A Fool and his Money are soon parted.
After Dinner sit a while, After Supper walk a Mile. After a Storm cometh a Calm. As good sit still, as rise up and fall.
A hasty Man never wants Woe. ​Birds of a Feather will flock together.
The burnt Child dreads the Fire.
Better the End of a Feast than the Beginning of a Fray. Enough's as good as a Feast. Fine Feathers make fine Birds.
First come, first serv'd. Faint Heart never won fair Lady.
Fair and softly goes far. Fast bind, fast find. Good Wine needs no Bush. Hunger is the best Sauce. If a Man deceive me once, 'tis his fault; If twice, it is my own. It's a good Horse that never stumbles.
It's a good Wife that never grumbles.
Make Hay while the Sun shines.
Nothing's so certain as Death. ​Necessity has no Law. New Lords, new Law. None so proud as an enriched Beggar.
Pride will have a Fall. Proffered Service stinks. Set a Knave to catch a Knave. Two Heads are better than one. Too much Familiarity breeds Contempt. They who are bound must obey.
Time and Tide stay for no Man.
Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil.
The best may mend. Truth may be blam'd, but can't be sham'd. The new Broom sweeps clean.
The Eye is bigger than the Belly.
The weakest goes to the Wall. ​When the Fox preaches beware of the Geese. Wisdom is better than Riches. Try your Friend before you trust him.
Look not a gift Horse in the Mouth.
A Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush.

Shuttle-Cock.
The Shuttle-Cock struck Does backward rebound; But, if it be miss'd, It falls to the Ground.
Moral.
Thus chequer'd in Life, As Fortune does flow;
Her Smiles lift us high, Her Frowns sink us low.
# A Little Pretty Pocket-book/Stool-Ball

Stool-Ball.
The Ball once struck with Art and Care, And drove impetuous through the Air
Swift round his Course the Gamester flies, Or his Stool's taken by Surprize.
Rule of Life.
Bestow your Alms whene'er you see
An Object in Necessity.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Cumeni

​CUMENI. A Nephite city in the southwest of their possessions, or near the Pacific coast. When first mentioned it was in the possession of the Lamanites (B. C. 66). In B. C. 63, the Nephites under Helaman lay siege to it, captured the trains of provisions sent to its relief, and eventually compelled it to capitulate. A desperate but ineffectual attempt was soon after made by the Lamanites to recapture it, in which both sides suffered much loss. This victory of the Nephites was largely due to the intrepid valor of the 2,000 young Ammonites under the command of Helaman. Cumeni is only mentioned in connection with this war.

C. 328, by the armies of the Lamanites; they then retreated to the land of Joshua, which was on the western sea coast. This is the only time that this land is mentioned in the Book of Mormon.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Cumorah, Hill

​CUMORAH, HILL. One of the most noted places in ancient American history was the land in which was situated the hill known to the Jaredites as Ramah, and to the Nephites as Cumorah. In its vicinity two great races were exterminated; for it was there that the last battles were fought in the history of both people. There also the sacred records of the Nephites found their final resting place. When iniquity began to increase in their midst, Ammaron hid the holy things in the hill Shim (A. C. 321). About fifty-five years after (say in A. C. 376) Mormon, seeing that his people were fast melting away before the Lamanites, and fearing that the latter would get possession of the records and destroy them, removed all that had been placed in his care by Ammaron, and afterwards hid up in the hill Cumorah all that had been entrusted to him by the hands of the Lord, save the few plates which he gave to his son Moroni, Moroni afterwards concealed the treasures committed to his keeping in the same hill, ​where they remained until they were, by Heaven's permission, exhumed and translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith. This hill is situated about three or four miles from Palmyra, in the State of New York.
