- (continued from previous page)Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Sense doesn't come before age.
Little children should be seen not heard.
Silence is golden.
A good beginning is half the work.
Everyone to his choice.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scolbs.
More grows in a field than is put into it.
Time and tide wait for no man.
If things were done twice all would be well.
Save a little for a rainy day.
Strike the iron while 'tis hot.
Never sell a hen on a wet day.
When wine is in wit is out.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
Pride will get a fall.
In time of trial your help is feet.
A man without eyes is no judge of colour.
Greatness knows gentleness.
He who drinks only water will not be drunk.
Appearances are deceptive.
Don't judge the book by the cover.
Nature will break through the eyes of a cat.
Whoever drinks Donal pays.
Might subdues right
Dont outstay your welcome.(continues on next page)
