  31. Morals: As seen in Literature Appearances are deceptive One good turn deserves another Gratitude is the sign of noble souls It is best to prepare for the days of necessity It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow A willful beast must go his own way He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another A man is known by the company he keeps They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cureFalse confidence is the forerunner of misfortune Vices are their own punishment Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost One man's pleasure may be another's pain He who is once deceived is doubly cautious Necessity is the mother of invention It is easy to kick a man that is down Sorrow not over what is lost forever Those who seek to please everybody please nobody Every one is more or less master of his own fate Honesty is the best policy Do not count your chickens before they are hatched He who plays a trick must be prepared to take a joke

  32. Fables: Listed by Moral Appearances can be deceptive Beauty is only skin-deep A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush Birds of a feather flock together Every man for himself Evil-wishes, like chickens, come home to roost Fair weather friends aren't worth much Liars can't be trusted Look before you leap Might makes right Mind your own business Necessity is the mother of invention No act of kindness is ever wasted One good turn deserves another An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure Pride goes before the fall Quality, not quantity Slow and steady wins the race United We Stand, Divided We Fall You are known by the company you keep
