  1. (continued from previous page)
    Laugh and grow fat.
    Leave in light.
    What is not worth asking is not worth taking.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    A change is as good as a rest.
    He could kiss a goat between the horns.
    Learning is no load.
    The whole world and Garrot Reilly were there.
    Better late than ever.
    Where there is women there is talk.
    The best in the world makes mistakes.
    There is no use crying after spilt milk.
    Never rob Peter to pay Paul.
    Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
    One would break their neck before they would break their fast at that table.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    Far away cows wear long horns.
    There is nothing as mean as tea out of a tin.
