- (continued from previous page)Is like a gold ring in a fat pigs nose
A watched pot never boils.
Don't tie with your tongue what you can loose with your teeth.
Don't scald your lips with another man's porridge.
Between two stools, one comes to the ground.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Many a good tree grew on shallow ground.
It is impossible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
It's easier to say a thing than to do it.
It never rains but it pours.- Collector
