- (continued from previous page)Your can't knock blood our of a turnip.
Tell me your company an I'll tell you what you are.
One man's meat is another man's poison
As you live so shall you die
Look before you leap
There are more Paddy Lee's than one
Never leave off for tomorrow what you can do today.
It is a bad workman who quarrels with his tools
Health is better than wealth
Give them the win of the word ad then they're off
What is worth doing is worth doing well
The early bird catches the worm
Never Judge by appearances
What is ill begun in never well down done
A dog is stiff on his own hearthstone
Don't take the book by the cover
It is a bad wind that doesn't blow somebody good.
A half an hour too soon is better than a half a minute too late
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.(continues on next page)
