- (continued from previous page)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.(continues on next page)- Collector
