- (continued from previous page)Hills are green far away.
Let each one praise the fool as he finds it.
One without dinner means two for supper.
The world wouldn't make a race horse for an ass.
He is a good hurler who sits on the fence.
The road to hell is paved with good resolution.

Silence is golden.
Experience is a dear teacher.
The good thing is never dear
What is scarce is sweet.
There is a black sheep in every flock.
Hunger is a good sauce.
Don't throw out dirty water until clean water is in.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise
