- (continued from previous page)the corners best.
Smooth waters run deep.
A bird in the hand is worth two on a bush.
Liars ought to have good memories.
Good luck is better than early rising.
First in first served
Honesty is the best policy.
Two heads is better than one, even if they were sheep's heads.
It is not all gold that glitters.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. An empty house is better than a bad tenant.
If's and an's made pots and pans there would be no call for tinkers.
She pays him in his own coin.
Fools make feasts, but wise men eat them.
Saying and doing are two things
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Many a one cuts a rod to beat himself.
Truth stands on 2 feet, but a lie stands on 1 foot.
It is a very wee mouse wouldn't take a corn stack on its head. Time and tide wait for no man.
Butter to butter is no kitchen.
Blow before you sup and look before you leap
Far off fields look green.
