- (continued from previous page)Before you marry be sure of a house wherein to tarry.
A bird in a cage is worth two in a bush.
Where ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise.
One good turn deserves another.
The world would not make a racehorse out of an ass.
Hard upon hard makes a bad stone wall but soft upon soft makes none at all.
Knowledge is no load.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Never put off what you could do today until tomorrow
If you don't venture you won't win
It is a good horse that draws his own load
While the cat is out the mouse can dance
You couldn't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear
You couldn't stop the river with a pitch fork
