- (continued from previous page)Perseverance gains the crown.
Birds of feather flock together.
Better than Better late than never.
Far away Godsends.
There is no place like home.
Have it yourself or be without it.
There's no use crying over spilt milk.
The dearest friends must part.
There's no home without a mother.
The longest day must have and end.
To morrow never comes.
A watched pot never boils.
It's a good thing the man that made the house didn't make the pot.
You never miss the water till the well run dry
Never make a shortcut by night.
Around the road is the shortest way home.
Empty vessels never leak.
When a farmer has not cattle he will not have loss is in them.
Its no use looking for scollops the day of the storm.
Little by little fills the purse.
The best of goods are in small parcels.
A penny makes money.
A stitch in time saves nine
Many hands make light work.(continues on next page)
