A penny for your thoughts.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
You never miss the water till the well runs dry.
The longer you live the more you learn,
the farther you go the more you hear.
A whistling woman and a crowing hen there's never any luck in the house they're in.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
When the cat is away the mice can play.
Every man to his taste as Barney Broderick said when he kissed the cow.
She is watching me like a cat would watch a mouse.
'Tis a cure for sore eyes to see you.
'Tis raining cats and dogs.
Two heads are better than one.
'Tis better be sure than sorry.

Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
You cannot catch old birds with chaff.(continues on next page)
