- (continued from previous page)17 Work is better than talk.
18 The truth never choked a man
19 A full purse makes a light heart.
20 God made the back for the burden.
21 Every story has a meaning.
22 A blind man is a bad judge of colours.
23 What the ear will not hear won't bother the heart.
24 A windy day is not a day for thatching.
25 Time or tide will not wait for no man's bride.
26 Keep the bone and the dog will follow.
27 A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
28 What is bought deer is sold cheap.
29 When the cats ae away the mice will play.
30 A stitch in time saves nine.
31 It is not the big stones alone that makes the castle.- Collector
