- (continued from previous page)They who sleight a horse would buy him.
There's no fool as bad as an old fool.
Good goods can be found in small parcels.
The long road is always the near cut.
Food is better than sense.
Praise the young boy and he will come.
It is not the big men that cut the harvest.
It is many a day we will be in the graveyard.
Business first and pleasure afterwards.
Command of hand is grand.
Don't throw out the old water until you get in the fresh water.
All is not gold that glitters.
Three removes are as bad as a fire.
Many a little makes a mickle.
Always taking out of the meal tub and never putting in soon comes to the bottom.
The least said is easy mended.
Look before you leap.
If a jest you cannot take then, a jest you should not make.
United we stand divided we fall.
Many hands make light work.(continues on next page)
