- (continued from previous page)A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Empty tins make most rattle
Enough is as good as a feast
Fools fly in where angels fear to thread
Don't take the book by the cover
Do a little & do it well
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
Poverty is no crime
Rattle his bones over the stones
For he's a pauper nobody owns
If death were a thing that money could buy
The rich they would live & the poor they would die
A sharp tongue never gained anyone anything.
One can't whistle & chew at the same time.
If born without sense you'll never have sense.
An apple in the morning is golden
An apple at midday is silver
An apple at night is copper
Big head and little sense
He is as like his people as two pins
Good goods are in small parcels
A halfpenny never reared you
God's will grind slowly but surely
His bark is worse than his bite(continues on next page)
