- (continued from previous page)A Clean hole is better than a dirty patch.
There is no fool like an old one.
You often have your neighbour when you haven't your friends.
Put a beggar on horse-back and he'll go to the devil.
Never trouble, trouble until trouble troubles you.
Its time enough to bid the devil "good Morrow" when you meet him. It is a long road that has no end.
There is no feast without a roast and no trouble until after marriage.
After a storm comes a calm
Dark is the hour before the dawn There isn't .. a dark cloud without a silver lining.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Mind the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
A Bird in the the hand is worth two in a bush.
To keep a robin in a cage puts all heaven in a rage.
People who live in glass houses should'nt throw stones.
Gods mills grind slowly but surely
Curses, like chickens come home to roost.
Poverty is no disgrace
Never borrow to lend.
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Every cock may crow on his own dunghill
A dogs bark is often worse than his bite
