- (continued from previous page)Seldom seen is much admired.
Smooth water runs deep.
You can never knock blood out of a turnip.
It is very hard to throw the stone.
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Friday night is my delight and so is Saturday morning sunday noon comes too soon and off to school on Monday morning.
A whistling woman and a crowing hen wake the devil from his den.
When love gets old it soon gets cold and fades away like the morning dew.
A man without learning wearing good clothes is like a gold ring on a pig's nose.
However near a person's coat is to him his shirt is nearer.
A house without a child is like a tree.
It is a dumb priest has no parish.
