    (continued from previous page)
    Before you marry be sure of a house within to tarry.
    Time and Patience bring a snail to America.
    A little pot is soon hot.
    If you would enjoy the fruit pluck not the flowers.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    He that hides finds.
    You may beg from a begor but youn ever will be rich.
    When your cap is on, your house is thatched.
    A rainbow in the night is the sailor's delight, a rainbow in the morning, is the sailor's warning.
    It is a bad dog that is not worth whistling for.
    Keep a thing for seven years and you will find use for it.
