- Trying to please every one and can please no one like the man and his ass.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Put something by for the rainy day.
All is not good that glitters.
A friends eye is a good looking-glass. You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
It is often the prayer that happens the preacher.
Curses don't fall on sticks or stones.
Beauty does not boil the pot.
You can't put old heads on young shoulders.
The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the valley. Experience keeps a dear school.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Everywhere like the bad weather.
your pocket is your best friend.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Dead with tea and dead without tea.
Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
A new brush sweeps clean.
A full purse makes a light heart.
If the cap suits you wear it.
A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.(continues on next page)
