- (continued from previous page)often a person's mouth broke his nose.
Four things an Irishman cannot trust.;- A cows horn, a dogs snarl, and an Englishman's laugh and a horses hoof,
The thruth never choked a man
A closed mouth catches no flies.
He who has much gets more.
The piper with one tune.
Hunger is a good sauce.
A blind man is a bad judge of colours.
Throwing apples into an orchard.
No road is long with good company.
Listeners never hear good of themselves.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
