All in a row like Brown's cows when he had only one.
When the ship is built to hell with the carpenter.
Set a beggar on horse-back and he will out-ride the devil.
Laughing with one side of her face and crying with the other.
Once bitten twice shy.
He who slings mud is losing ground.

Never meet trouble half-way.
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
Have your own way and you'll live the longer.
Least said soonest mended.
You may take the pitcher to the well once too often.
Before the storm there comes a calm.
The ripest apple is soonest rotten.
Mind the copper and gold will store.
You cannot play with fire without a burn.(continues on next page)
