- (continued from previous page)There is never smoke without fire.
Smooth waters run deep.
There are hopes from the ocean but none from the grave.
A little help is worth a lot of pity.
Many hands make light work.
Always help a lame dog over the stile.
What is home without a mother.
There is no place like home. - Never choose a book by the cover.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
The truth can be blamed, but can't be shamed.
It's a long lane has no turning.
Never buy a pig in a bag.
You can't put an old head on a young body.(continues on next page)- Collector
