  1. (continued from previous page)
    A fool and his folly is more to be dreaded than a bear robbed of its whelps.
    The man on the ditch is a good rider
    Sticks and stones would brake your bones but names will never hurt you.
    The best horse jumped the ditch
    It is never to late to mend.
    It is better late than never.
    Practise makes perfect.
    Slow and steady wins the race
    look before you leap
    It is better late than never.
    Practise makes perfect.
    Slow and steady wins the race
    Look before you leap
    It is better to be sure than sorry.
    One good trick is worth ten bad ones
    There ears in the bushes
    You need not care about the honest person but be ware of the rogue
    Have the name of been an early riser and you can stay in bed until dinner time
    Keep Trying
    Mocking is catching
