- (continued from previous page)Learning is no load.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
All that glitters is no gold.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
For the want of horses asses must plough.
The horse that does the work should be fed.
A long threatning comes at last.
The truth is bitter.
Blood is thicker than water.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never take the book by the cover or the boy by his colour.
God never closes a gap but he opens another one.
Where there's a will there's a way.
Every beginning is weak.
All officers, no soldiers.
A woman is as bold as a pig and a pig is as bold as the devil.
One good turn deserves another.
A plan is nearer to a woman than her apron.
It is never too late to men.
Honesty is the best policy.
Birds of feather flock together.
Take the ball at the hop.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
You can't get blood out of a goat.
When your hand is in the dog's mouth draw it easy.(continues on next page)
