- (continued from previous page)A burnt coal is easily kindled.
A burned child dreads the fire.
Never meet the devil half way.
One man's meal is another man's poison.
As long as the fox runs he's caught at last.
Birds of one feather flock together.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
Many hands make light work.
A nod is as good as a wink to a blindhorse.
Man proposes by God disposes
Apples will grow again
She sold her hen on a rainy day
It's no use throwing water on a drowned rat
Curses like chickens come home to roost
Give a dog a bad name and then hang him
When it rains it pours.
Stick on the the dirty water till youget the clean
The more hurry the less speed
Laziness is a heavy load.
Make hay while the sun shines
You dont miss the shelter till the bush is cut
You cant put an old head on young shoulders(continues on next page)
