- (continued from previous page)Better late than never.
All seems jaundiced to the d jaundiced eye.
The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path.
When the cat is out the mice can play.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
The longer you live the more you know.
When all fruit fails welcome the haws.
Lie with the lamb and rise with the birds.
Always be true to your work and word.
No use paying the doctor, better pay the cook.
A burned child fears the fire.
A penny saved a penny gained.
Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
The nearest and dearest friends must part.
