  1. (continued from previous page)
    What a friend gets is never missed.

    Far off fields look green.

    You won't sell your hen on a rainy day.

    A little drop of blood runs far.

    Watch your friend and your enemy won't harm you.

    Wolves walk in sheep's clothing.

    Fast bind fast find.

    Your eye is your guide.

    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.

    It is the money makes the man.

    When poverty enters the door love flies out the window.

    Follow good example for it wont [sic] follow you

    Such measure you give such measure you get
