    (continued from previous page)
    A fool has his own sense.
    On natural tooth is worth twenty false ones.
    Wilful waste makes woeful wants.
    A greedy person grasping too much often looses all.
    There is luck on a fool.
    It is a bad hound that is not worth whistling after.
    Your pocket is your friend.
    On bird in your hand is better than two in the bush.
