  1. (continued from previous page)
    Its a long day that has no night.
    A watch clock never goes.
    A wise son maketh a glad father.
    Bringing turf to a bog.
    A half of a loaf is better than no bread.
    A live ass is better than a dead lion.
    What ever you do, do it well.
    A young girl has not an old head.
    The one that only drinks water is never drunk.
    You should not judge one's character by their hair.
    Dont boil cabbage twice in the same pot.
    Borrowed horses have hard hooves.
    It always takes two to make a row.
    Don't buy a pig in a bag.
    The day's of your youth are the days of your glory.
