- (continued from previous page)Locking the stable after the horse is stolen.
There's many the day in a year.
He laughs best, who laughs best.
If a you can not take, than a joke you should not make.
Standing on another person's corns.
Where the shoe pinches.
When you play take care that your aunt hurts no one.
Like something the devil would spoil of a frosty morning - frosty face.
Hoping for the day one might never see.
So far away what God sends.
Whatever God sends will be welcome.
Do unto others as you'd wish others to do to you.
Live and let live.
Opprition is the life of trade.
God never sends a mouth but he sends a hit for it.
A trade is as good as an estate.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
A king has no honour in his own country.
Much like the snow on the mountains(continues on next page)
