{Household Lore}


A friend of mine, Bonnie recently lent me a book which she recently purchased.  It's a classic Australian book on household tips and recipes from the early settlers, back in the 1800's.  I love great sayings and quotations and this book has some real classics. Let me share a few with you...

{Listeners never hear an good of themselves}

{Have a place for everything and everything in it's place} 
(I think this one would have been my Dad's fravourite!)

{Make hay while the sun shines}

{Where there's a will there's a way}

{Patience is the key to success}

{Always leave the table able to eat a little more}

{Honesty is the best policy}

{Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise}

{Out of debt, out of danger}

{A boy's best friend is his mother}

{Never put off what can be done today}

{If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well}

{Love your wife if you wish her to love you}

{Avoid intemperance, as you would the fiercest tiger}

Well, I must say a few of those quotations bought back a few memories!  I remember my Dad and Mum quoting a few of them to my brother and I when we where children.
