    (continued from previous page)
    A cock crows loudest in his own dunghill.
    The jewel that is hard to find is the most beautiful.
    A word in the court is worth a pound in the purse.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    A fool and his money are quickly parted.
    Selling sweets and buying honey.
    It is as good to be out of the world as to be out of fashion.
    He who hesitates is lost.
    The man on the fence is always the best hurler.
    It is better to be alone than in bad company.
    All the world could not make race horse of an ass.
