- A pig’s ear cannot make mutton.
A cart horse cannot win the Derby.
Look before you leap ; taste before you sip.
Keep the shop and the shop will keep you.

A stitch in time saves nine.

A good run is better than a bad stand.
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in the doctor’s book.
He is a good hurler who sits on the fence.
A letter box saves many knocks.
Hunger is a sweet sauce.
It is difficult to put a wise head on young shoulders.
A spark may cause an awful blaze.(continues on next page)- Collector
