- (continued from previous page)54blow good for some one.
Save when you are you are young to spend when you are old.
Crows like curses come home to roost.
Birds of one feather always flock together.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
The early bird catches the worm
Not to over see servants is to leave your purse open.
(Their) There is no tomorrow for the sinner.
He that buys the plough would thrive.
Too many cooks spoil the broath
Let every day take care of itself
You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
Look before you leap.
Learning is no load
As near to the door as a beggarman's dog.
