    (continued from previous page)
    Everybody is sweet to your face until you burn a stack of turf with them

    Patience is a virtue
    Always look before you leap
    Where is the great snow that was last year!

    Never throw out the dirty water until you get in the clean water
    Never tell your left hand what you are going to do with your right

    New brooms sweep clean
    It's a long road that has no turn
    When you'd forgive, you should wish you'd forget
    Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own canoe
    Don't count your chickens before they're hatched
    Sense never came before age
    An hour in the morning is worth two at night
    A wise head keeps a quiet tongue
    A good name is better than riches
    A burnt child dreads the fire
    A little leak will sink a great ship
