    (continued from previous page)
    No man can make the hat but the hatter
    A hungry eye sees far
    Many a lad has lost his lass for want of talking to her
    Wee dogs rise the hare but big dogs catch it
    It is time you were putting soot on your own crook.
    Old love is easy kindled.
    Do not choose a book by its cover.
    He is on the pig's back.
    A light heart lives long
    New light out of old windows.
