  1. (continued from previous page)
    Every dog is stiff at his own door.
    Every dog has his own day.
    It takes two to play every game.
    Before you marry be sure of a house where in to tarry.
    Hungar is the best sauce.
    It is to late to save when all is spent.
    Make haste slowly.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    Throw out a trout to catch a salmon
    The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.
    If you do not sow in the Spring you will not reap in the Harvest.
    Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
    Look before you leap.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    The longer you live the more you know.
    Better late than ever.
    A wet and showery May fills the farmers haggard with corn and hay.
