  1. (continued from previous page)
    He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    The straw shows how the wind blows.
    It is too late to save when all is spent. Beg from a beggar and you will never be rich.
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    A food and his money soon part.
    Many hands make light work.
    A stitch in tine saves nine.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have grain to sell and keep.
    Birds of one feather flock together.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
