- (continued from previous page)[Mary Gaughran - Ballinglough Kells Co Meath - Age 13 years]To many cooks spoil the broth.
One penny gets anotherLittle said is easy mended.
Your pocket is your friend.A new broom sweeps clean,
Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.Mind the pence and the pounds will mind themselves
Time and tide wait for no man.An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
When wine is in, wit is out.Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
Look before you leap.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Many hands make light work.The person who drinks water is not drunk.
Fine feathers make fine birds.(continues on next page)- Collector
