    (continued from previous page)
    It's hard for an empty bag to stand up.
    Save the hay while the sun shines.
    The more rain the more rest but the fine weather is the best.
    He who digs a pit for others often falls into it himself.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Your pocket is your nearest friend.
    A barking dog never bites.
