    (continued from previous page)
    Live horse and you get grass.
    Time is the best healer.
    What you won't know, won't trouble you.
    Never spend your money until you have it.
    Better a word in court, that a pound in your purse.
    Foreign cows wear long horns.
    You'll never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    He who sows in Spring, reaps in Autumn
    It's too late to spare, when all is spent, but it's never too late to mend.
    It's not the horse that earns the oats, that always gets it.
