- (continued from previous page)Ask no questions and you'll be told no lies.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Better late than never.
Laugh and the world laughs with you cry and nobody wants you.
No good crying over spilt milk.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Make haste slowly.
The hills look green far away.
Anything you want done do it yourself.
See that you are ready before anyone else.
Sense is better than wealth.
Water is a good drink if taken in the right spirit.
A good watching is better than working.
Never hit the iron till its hot.
If you're dabbed with honey, you'll never want bees.
Long sickness is death at the rear.
Friends will meet, when the mountains will never meet.
What is good for the goose, isn't bad for the gander.
Good goods go in small parcels.
Age and want are an ill matched pair.
God never closed one door but he opened another.
You couldn't expect a robin out of a hawks nest.
The fox runs long but he is caught at last.(continues on next page)
