- (continued from previous page)The quarrels of Friends are opportunities of their foes. The best of goods are made up in small parcels.
It would not be right to rob Peter to pay Paul. Whats one mans taste is another mans poison
More by chance. Never buy a pig in a bag.
You can't get blood out of a turnip
Whats bred in the bone comes out in the flesh
Three kinds of men who cannot understand women, the young, the middle-aged, and the old.
Look before you leap. Never praise a fair day until night
Theres many a slip between the cup and the lip.
From the frying-pan into the fire. You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry. The younger the chicken the sweeter the picking
The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.
Theres no use leading a horse to water if he doesn't want to drink. Dirty water washes clean and clean dirt is no poison. Its better to be full than fasting. Half a loaf is better than no bread. An apple a day keeps the doctor away and an onion a day keeps every one away. Two wrongs never made a right Always put by for the rainy day. Theres never smoke without fire. A slice off a cut loaf is never missed. Its never too late to mend.
