- (continued from previous page)One hour to-day is worth two to-morrow.
Never leave until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
What is a home without a mother.
Time and tide wait for no man.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It never rains but it pours.
While the sun shines, make hay.
A green Christmas fills the churchyards.
The best hurlers are always on the ditch.
You can bring a horse to the well but you can not force him to drink.
Cats like fish but don't like to wet their paws.
You can never buy sweets for nothing.
There is no use crying over spilt milk.
He who fights and runs away, will live to fight another day.
Many hands make light work.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
The older we get the more we learn.
Courage is half the battle.
The early bird gets the first worm.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
What the old cock crows the young cock learns.
So near but so far.
Blood is thicker than water.(continues on next page)
