   (continued from previous page)

   a half loaf is better than no bread.
   Hills are green far off.
   A closed mouth catches no flies.
   An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron.
   Spare the rod and spoil the child
   Never fire without smoke
   A penny wise and a pound foolish.
   Never throw out the dirt until you get in the clean
   Where is the snow that was lastyear.
   Every dog gets his own day
   What a learned man knows is nothing to what he does'nt know
   Put a little bit away for a rainy day for the sun it wont always shine.
   If he who owns the plough must thrive he must either hold the plough or drive
   A windy day is'nt the day for thatching.
   A burnt child dreads the fire
   A drunken man waring grand shoes and grand clothes is like a gold ring in a barrow pigs nose
   They are all together like Brownes cows.
   A watched kittle never boils.
   Dont judge the book by the cover
   Its not gold alone that glitters
   Early to bed early to rise makes us
