- A shut mouth catches no flies.
He who goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.
Many are called but few are chosen.
Better go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
Think twice before you speak once.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Birds of a feather flock to-gether.
Make hay while the sun shines.
A straw best shows how the wind blows.
Fools build houses but wise men live in them.
Tis never too late to mend.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
No morning sun lasts a whole day.
All is not gold that glitters.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Never put back till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Small leaks sink great ships.
Far away fields look green.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A watched pot never boils.
Children and fools should not handle edged tools.(continues on next page)
