  1. (continued from previous page)
    It is a sad heard that never rejoices.
    Long looked for comes at last.
    It is better to be born luck than rich.
    Saturday's moon comes seven years too soon.
    What is bound in Harvest is loosened in Spring.
    It's a poor washing that there is not a shift in it.
    Learning is no load.
    Laziness is a heavy load.
    Marry a mountain woman and you will marry the whole mountain.
    A shut mouth never broke a tooth.
    Courage is half the battle of life.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    The darkest cloud has a silver lining.
    Every new broom sweeps clean.
    Business first and pleasure afterwards.
