    A dog with two homes are never any good.
    The longest way around is the shortest way home.
    Children or fools should not meddle with edged tools.
    A bad dog is not worth whistling for.
    The seldomer seen the more thought about.
    Time and patience brings a snail to America.
    A bird in a hand is worth two in the bush.
    There is sl, seldome [?] smoke without a fire.
    A watched pot never boils.
    Two many cooks spoils the broth.
    A good manager is worth two bad workers.
    There is no good of crying over spilt milk.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    Cows far away wear long horns.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
