- (continued from previous page)The smaller the bee, the bigger the buzz.
A cat likes fish, but does not like to wet her feet.
Half a truth is often a whole false-hood.
The trust is often bitter.
Keep not what is not your own.
Blessings ever wait on virtuous acts.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Empty vessels make the greatest noise.
Common fame is seldom to blame.
First catch a hare, then cook it.
It is the thunder that frights, but the lightning that smiles.
No noble task was every easy.
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Think twice before you speak once.
Better be sure, than sorry.
It never rains but it pours.
A watched kettle never boils.
If the cap does not fit you don't wear it.
Troubles never come in singles.
Never trouble another to do for you what you can do yourself.(continues on next page)
