  1. (continued from previous page)
    is time to rise.
    No body ever caught a weasil asleep.
    You cannot whistle and eat meal.
    It's a bad wind that does not favour some body.
    The sight of you is good for sore eyes.
    On their merits, modest men are dumb.
    Don't swap horses in crossing a stream.
    Tears never yet wound up a clock or worked a steam engine.
    One by one the castles are built.
    Liars ought to have good memories.
    Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise.
    Keep sheery till ten o'clock in the morning, the rest of the day will take care of itself.
