    (continued from previous page)
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Don’t swap horses crossing the stream.
    Keep the home fire burning.
    God helps those who help themselves.
    You can lead a horse to the water but you cant make him drink.
    A bonny bride is easily dressed.
    Peace is cheap at any price.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you.
    Dress the besom and it will look well.
    Hard work is not easy.
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
    Age is honourable.
    Coming events cast their shadows before.
    A good name is better than riches. Birds of a feather flock together.
    Sunshine and a shower, never last half an hour. Rainbow in the afternoon is good weather soon.
    The longer you live, the more you know.
    Hard as work is, want is harder.
    Snow will blow again.
