  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the cat is out the mouse can play.
    No news good news.
    You cannot put young head on old shoulders.
    Opposition is the life of trade.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    Imagination goes a long way.
    The old dog the hard road and the pup the footpath.
    A miser never make riches.
    Never count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Better late than never.
    Complain not to him who does not pity your case.
    The madman always thinks himself wise.
