  1. (continued from previous page)
    Don't let a bad dog bite you.
    One look before you is better than two behind you.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Two many cooks spoils the broth.
    It is easy to knead beside the dough.
    Laziness is a heavy load.
    Leave middling alone.
    A bird in your hand is better than two on a bush.
    Better late than ever.
    Better to go to bed supperless that to rise in debt.
    The cock will crow to let you know, if you be wise, the time to rise.
