- (continued from previous page)As sweet as a nut.
A bright eye sees far.
As tough as a gad.
It will be all the same in a hundred years from now.
My face is my fortune.
After a storm comes a calm.
Take the ball on the hop.
Exchange is no robbery.
Hunger is the best sauce.
Win gold and wear it.
Let the dead rest.
Doing nothing doing ill.
A used key is always bright.
Muddy water soon runs clear.
No sooner said than done.
Speak of angels and they shall appear.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
A straw best shows how the wind blows.
Do not rust out wear out.
As fair as a lily.
As stiff as a poker.
No child no laugh no cry.
What you reap in Harvest you sow in Spring.
The juice of a cow is good dead or a live.
There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage.(continues on next page)- Informant
