    (continued from previous page)
    It is a long lane that has no turning
    One good turn deserves another.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    God never (op) (cloth)closed one door but he opened too
    Don't sell your hen on a rainy day.
    One swallow never makes a summer.
    Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
    Better late than never
    When poverty comes it at the door love flys out the window
    To late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen
    Let sleeping dogs lie.
