- (continued from previous page)Live horse and you will get grass.
The good when lost is valued most.
A wrinkled purse, a wrinkled face.
Where there's a will there's a way.
One good turn deserves another.
By being greedy we may lose all.
A new broom sweeps clean.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
You can stop the clock but time goes on.
An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
One link broken the whole chain is gone.
Dont burn a penny candle looking for a half penny.
A hungry eye sees far.
It's a poor washing that there's not a shirt in.
Learning is no load.
Laziness is a heavy load.
Keep your shop and your shop keeps you.
Those who cannot have what they like must learn to like what they have.
Have it your self or be without it.
A windy day is not the day for thatching.- Collector
