    (continued from previous page)
    Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee.
    Put a little bit away for a rainy day.
    Your best friend is your pocket in the end.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
    Dead men tell no tales.
    Still water runs deep.
    The early bird catches the first worm.
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    The shortest way round is the longest way home.
    It's no use crying over spilt milk.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    what the eyes can't see the heart does not grieve.
    It's better be born lucky than rich.
    Put a beggar on horse back and he'll ride to the devil.
    Far-away cows wear long horns.
