“Throwing a herring to catch a hake...”
(continued from previous page)A word in the court is better than a pound in the pocket.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
A fat kitchen makes a lean will.
Those who talk too much think little.
After a nights pleasure comes a days sorrow.
As the heart thinket the mouth speaket.
You are never too old too learn.
The early bird catches the early worm.
If you will not sow in the Spring you will not reap in the Harvest.
A stich in time saves nine.
There is no smoke without fire.
The grace of God is nearer than the door.
Those who talk too much think little.
Think twice before you speak always.
The less said is the easiest mended.
After a storm comes a calm.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Smooth waters run deep.
Looking at bread on another person's window, is little satisfaction for a person who feels hungry.
There is no hearth like your own hearth.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
One good word never broke a persons mouth.
A green Christmas makes a rich graveyard.(continues on next page)
