- (continued from previous page)Fingers were made before forks.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
When poverty comes in through the door love goes out through the window.
Never bid the devil good morrow until you meet him.
Never judge the book by the cover.
Shame shame duck of the lane. If I was your mother I'd give you the cane.As sound as a bell.
As grey as a badger.
As thin as a herring.
As thick as a double ditch.
As black as a pot.
As bold as brass.
As large as life.(continues on next page)
