    (continued from previous page)
    God is a large provider
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
    Use your brains and save your feet
    Let your conscience be your guide
    To be good is the sure way to be happy
    Good words are good, but good deeds are better
    New kings make new laws
    Calm waters run deep
    What would you expect from a cow but a kick
    What would you expect from a pig but a grunt
    A blind man is not a good judge of colour
    Far away fowls have fine feathers
    Bonny feathers make bonny birds
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away
    One good turn deserves another
    Bit by bit the house was built
    Dont put back until to-morrow what you can do to-day
    It's a bad dog that can't fight
    Leave in time and take your time
