- (continued from previous page)The cow that milks well and kicks the pail is no use.It is not the big stones alone that build the castleIt is too late to close the door when the horse is gone outHe who seldom rides forgets his spurs.Ask no questions you will be told no liesHe who begs buys dear.One good turn deserves another .It is too late to sharpen the sword when the drum beats for battleEvery bird feathers its own nestComing events cast their shadows beforeLong churning makes bad butterNever take the book by the cover.An apple a day keeps the doctor awaysAn empty sack will not standBread and butter are no kitchen.Dont crow until you are out of the woodA watched pot never boils.Old proverbs like these are used everyday and we should always use them for they are all truthful and can be applied to many things in everyday life.
