  1. (continued from previous page)
    There is no place like home.
    Never judge a book by its cover.
    A new brush sweeps clean.
    You must creep before you walk.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    Eat all and pocket none.
    Its a long road to heaven.
    Non use crying over spilled milk.
    If you put a silk coat on a goat it is still
    a goat.
    You can not put an old head on young shoulders.
    History always repeats itself.
    No news is good news.
    Give a man ahorse he can ride.
    There can be no window where there is no wall.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
