    (continued from previous page)
    Look before you leap.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    It is two late to save when all is spent.
    True love never runs smooth.
    A man is a man if he was rocked in noggin.
    Mans proposes and God disposes.
    Beauty is only skin deep.
    Charity begins at home.
    A long threatening comes at last.
    Charity covers a multitude of sins and an overcoat covers a multitude of rags.
    A hungry eye sees far.
    Pride goeth before a fall.
