- He gave no green barley for it.
What could you expect from a horse than a kick
Early to bed early to rise, wakes a man wealthy witty & wise.
You cant make a purse out of a sow's ear.
It's a long long lane that has not a turning.
The early bird catches the worm
Lie down with dogs & rise with fleas
Look before you leap
A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning
A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight
A closed mouth makes a wise head.
Rome was not built in a day.
Many hands make light work.
Two heads are better than one.
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip
Smooth waters run deep
A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse
Far off fields look green
Never leave off until tomorrow what you can do to-day
Put a beggar on horse back and he'll ride to h-
He couldn't bear promotion.
You may bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink.(continues on next page)
