  1. (continued from previous page)
    523
    Let another praise thee not thy own mouth
    The me your company and I will tell you what you are
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird
    Time is a good story teller
    There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage
    Your pocket if your friend
    Your son is your son to-day but your daughter is your daughter forever
    The time and the tide wait for no one
    It is a long road that has no turning
    When the wine is in the sense is out
    Man proposes but God disposes
