  1. (continued from previous page)
    As red as a fox
    As black as coal.
    As yellow as an orange.
    As busy as a bee.
    As old as the hills
    As cold as a frog.
    There's little between the good and the bad.
    A kind word goes far.
    Two heads are better than one.
    Say little and say well.
    Better late, than never
    Saying and doing are two things.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    He who slings mud is losing ground.
    Salutations
    One entering a house. God save all here, or God bless all here.
    " leaving " " people say God be with ye.
