  1. (continued from previous page)
    After a storm comes a calm.
    A rainbow at night is the sailor's delight.
    A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning.
    The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path.
    There was never an old stocking but met an old shoe.
    It's never too late to mend.
    Opposition is the life of trade.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    All is well that ends well.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    Look before you leap.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Smooth water runs deep.
