- (continued from previous page)Too late to close the barn door when the horse is stolen.
You want a good "heart" to go to heaven but you do not need a "spade" to go to hell.
Better late than never.
Remember early remember late remember always your own school mate.
The more you get the more you want.
A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay.
A swarm of bees in June is worth a silven spoon.
A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay.
It's better to be sure than sorry.
It's a wise man that carries his coat a fine day.
Two heads are wiser than one.
One good turn deserves another.
Beauty does not boil the pot.
Empty barrels make the greatest sound.
A bird in the hand is better than two in the tree.
A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard.
Blood is thicker than water.
The longer you live the more you know.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Silence gives consent.
