- (continued from previous page)soonest rotten.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the beef.
Its the thunder that frights but the lightning that smites.
Those who cannot have what they like must learn to like what they have.
The mill cannot grind with the water that passed.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Half a leap falls into the ditch.
If you do not take pains pains will take you.
Dont put off until tomorrow what what you can do today.
The early bird gets the early worm.
You may not be talking of a penny when you have not a halfpenny.(continues on next page)
