    (continued from previous page)
    The man with one eye is a king among the blind.
    Every cloud has a silver lining.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    The race does not always fall to the swift not the battle to the strong.
    For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
    For want a shoe the horse was lost
    For want of a horse the rider was lost
    For want of a rider the battle was lost
    For want of a battle the king was lost.
    For want of a king the Kingdom was lost.
    All for the want of a horseshoe
