    (continued from previous page)
    It is lovely to be empty
    The truth is often bitter
    Cows from over the sea have long horns
    A blind man is a bad judge of colours
    What the ear will not hear will not trouble the heart
    A good beginning is half the work
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird
    Time will heal a broken heart
    Time nor tide will wait for no man
    Time is a great story teller
    Far away fields are green
    A friends in need is a friends indeed
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
    It is hard to take feathers off a frog
    Your son is your son today but your daughter is your daughter for ever
    A wise man carries his coat
    To spend, or to lend or to give in this is a very good world that we live in
