    (continued from previous page)
    A fool and his folly are more to be dreaded than a bear robbed of her whelps.
    A man putting his hand to to the plough and looking back is not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven.
    An old saying and a true one, a wise man carries his coat.
    Health is better than welth.
    A friend in court is better than gold in your purse.
    A full pig in a sty thinks little of an empty one passing by.
    Enough is as good as a feast.
    There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    An eating horse will never founder.
    A burrowed horse has hard hooves.
    March wind and April sun make the clothes white and fair maids dun.
