- (continued from previous page)You would guess eggs if you only saw the shells. He is too big for his shoes. You will never miss the water until the well goes dry. Let sleeping dog's lie. When poverty comes in the door love goes out the window. A little insanity keeps the world sane Where there's life there's hope. Be king to the animals saves half the washing Give a dog a bad name and hang him. One story is good until the other is told. The breed goes far. You can mind yourself from a thief but you cant from a liar The wise man changes his mind the fool never. The best of clerks make mistakes, Burning the candle at both ends.
