- (continued from previous page)The windy day is not the day for the scallop.
Hills are green far away.
A barking dog never bites.
The longer you go the more you know.
The nearer the church the further from God.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise but late to bed and late to rise brings a man to ruination and debt to his eyes.
Children and chickens are always picking.
Bad weeds grow fast.
Once paid never craved.
Short accounts make good friends.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
An ounce of March dust is worth a pound of gold.
Never take the book by the cover.
