- Many a person cuts a rod to beat himself.
A good beginning is half the work.
Don't point scollops on a windy day.
As crooked as a ram's horn.
Many hands make light work.
Bend the twig bend the tree.
As rich as a few.
The hard road for the old dog, the path for the pup. - As mad as a March hare.
As clean as a hound's tooth.
As happy as the flowers in May.
As busy as a nailer.
As bitter as the top of a rowan berry.
A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse.(continues on next page)- Collector
