- (continued from previous page)is no porrige.
One swallow never makes a summer.
Best of friends must part.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Tell me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
Haste make waste
Keep the home fire burning.
We never repent of having eaten too little.
It never rains but it pours.
Self praise is no praise.
No news is good news.
Hard work is not easy.
Come along never lose heart
Praise a fair day at night
A good name is better than a bag of gold.
Never weary on well doing.
Always take time by the forelock.
It is better to be sure than sorry.
Always sit on the sunny side(continues on next page)
