  1. (continued from previous page)
    You can't judge a book by the cover.
    What the pooka writes he reads himself.
    It's a bad wind that does not blow some one good.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    When there's a will there's a way.
    It is too late to sharpen one's sword when the drum beats for battle
    It is too late to close the stable-door when the horse is gone.
    A new brush sweeps clean.
    Look before you leap.
    You have to creep before you walk.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    It's never too late to mend.
