    (continued from previous page)
    It's a great war in which all are slain.
    God tempers the wind for the shorn lamb.
    Never put off till to morrow what you can do to-day.
    A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
    An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron.
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Hills are green far away.
    Never judge the book by the cover.
    A rolling stone carries no moss.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Its a long lane that has no turning
