    Keep the bad dog on your side

    (continued from previous page)
    Ill got, ill gone.
    We may all lick thumbs.
    The best galloping horse is not always the best.
    Don't speak to your enemy until you meet him.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Deep waters run smooth.
    Last but by no means least.
    Patience and perserverance would bring a snail to Jerusalem.
    Charity begins at home. Be wise and ware, of blotting take care.
    He who does his work with a will does it well.
    Better to die than ever to lie.
    The worst of life is that there is so little of it.
    One light tongue can make many heavy hearts.
    It is a good thing to be hungry when you have something to eat.
    Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    About the busiest thing there is, is an idle rumour.
