    (continued from previous page)
    a goose.
    The more you get, the more you want.
    Laziness is heavy burden.
    Foreign cows have long horns.
    One look in front is better than two behind.
    He who never changes his mind has no mind to change.
    Sing before breakfast, cry before supper.
    Strong is the horse that draws his own load.
    Promise little and do much.
    He who goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing
    There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    you can't put an old head on young shoulders.
