- (continued from previous page)If you don't sow you will not reap.
A barking dog gets no heed.
Better be sure than sorry.
Time or tide waits for no-body.
Look before you leap.
The beginning of battle is strife.
They who speak most think least.
If you have a loaf you will get a knife to cut it.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
There are good goods in small parsels.
Rome was not built in a day.
The beginning of a shower is mist.
What comes by nature costs nothing.
A man's mouth often broke his nose.
There is many the slip between the cup and the lip.
Do not put off till to-morrow what you can do to day.
To search for a neddle in a bundle of straw.
A ragged little colt often developed into a good horse.
Marry a mountain woman and you the mountain.
