   (continued from previous page)

   Some people can see a mote in their neighbour's eye but can't see a beam in their own.
   Talk is cheap.
   Empty vessels make the most sound.
   He who slights my horse would buy him.
   Self praise is no praise.
   Love me, love my dog.
   The darkest hour is that before the dawn.
   Everything to help the lame-dog over the stile.
   Penny wise and pound foolish.
   Trusting too much in others is often the ruin of many.
   Blessings are won by good deeds done.
   Charity begins at home.
   They who have glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
   Hills are green far away.
   Plough deep while others sleep and you'll have corn to sell and to keep.
   The cure is as bad as the disease.
   Out of debt, out of danger.
