- (continued from previous page)You'll never learn younger.
There are two things in life, give and take.
"I see" says the blind man when he was directed on his way.
Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.
It is said about bad material that you could spit haws through it.
Bringing coals to Newcastle.
Throwing apples into an orchard.
A Rolling stone gathers no moss.
Look before you leap
New friends new money.
She's as old as the hills.
Beg from a beggar and you will never have anything.
The blind leading the blind.
A step above buttermilk.
In on one ear and out on the other
After St. Patrick's day the warm side of the stone is turned.
The kettle calling the pot black.When tea is strong it is said you could trot mice on it.
When tea is weak it is said you'd run a mile on a deal board, or you think you saw a ghost.(continues on next page)- Collector
