- (continued from previous page)A bad workman quarrels with his tools
The best hurlers are always on the ditch
Courage is half the bottle.
Never venture never win
Dig deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
Uneasy is the head that wears the crown.
It takes two to make a quarrel.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
Fast bind fast find.
Blood is thicker that water.
Convince a fool against his will he is of the same opinion still.
Right conquers might.
All work and no plat makes Jack a dull boy.
Catch the ball on the hop.
Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
The early bird catches the worm.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Still waters run deep.
Pretty feathers make make pretty birds.
Eaten bread is soon forgotton.
"Work well begun
Is half done."
Hansome is that hansome does.
Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
Where theres a will theres a way.
Every dog gets his day
