- (continued from previous page)Spare the rod and spoil the child Circumstance alter cases
God is the best friend that ever anybody had
A half a loaf is better than no bread Look before you leap
A patch is better than a hole
It’s hard to knock blood out of a turnip
Opposition is the life of trade Fair play is good sport
Death comes soon or late
Rome was not built in a day
A wise man carries his coat a fine day
Plough deep while sluggers sleep Things are not what they look You cannot take the book by its cover
A slow hound is often lucky
A little help is worth a lot of pity Hunger is a good friend
A good word never broke a tooth For his own good the cat purrs Nothing lasts only for a while(continues on next page)
