- (continued from previous page)Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
The day of the big wind is not the day for the scollips.
The worst blast comes on the borrowed days.
Cast no clout till May is out.
You do not miss the water until the well runs dry.
It is a long road there is no turn it.
Necessity is the mother of invention
It is an ill wind that does not blow fair for someone.
He is like a hen on a hot griddle or like a hen at a bag of oats.
As weak as water.
As yellow as a sovereign.
As yellow as a duck's foot.
As white as milk.
As red as a rose. Blood is thicker than water.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wise.
Late to bed and late to rise beggars a man before his two eyes.
Two heads are wiser then one.
Look beofre you leap.
