    (continued from previous page)
    Too many irons in the fire together one of them will be always burned.
    As often as the pitcher went to the well, it is broken at last.
    Second thoughts are best.
    He that laughs last laughs loudest.
    You couldn't get blood out of a turnip.
    A burn't child dreads the fire
    Precaution is better than cure.
    You will never miss the water until the well is gone dry.
