- (continued from previous page)The juice of a cow is sweet dead or alive.
A person often cuts a rod which is to beat himself
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
There is no hearth like your own.
Where there's a heat there's a fire.
The early bird catches the worm.
A cat in gloves catches no mice.
Far away cows have long horns.
Always taking out meal tub and never putting in, soon leads to the bottom.
Let young people think what old people say when danger is near keep out of the way.
Money would make the pot boil if you would throw [?] in the fire.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Where is the snow that was last year.
Too far east is west.
A good laugh is as good as a day at the seaside
Shallow water runs deep
Snow lies longer on a hill than on low ground
A lot of hands make light work.
