- (continued from previous page)Letting the cat out of the bag.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind,
When it slips too often, is is caught behind. - Never sell your hen on a wet day.
Self praise is no praise.
You never miss a slice off a cut loaf.
It's no use closing the stable door when the horse is gone.
Listeners never hear good of themselves.
It's a bad hen that cannot scrape for herself.
Burning a candle at both ends.
The nearer the church the farther from God.
We must be cruel to be kind.
A warm hand is a cold heart.
It takes a dirty hand to make a clean hearth.
Don-duckety grey. - Don't carry your wish bone where your back-bone ought to be.
When your in Rome do as Rome does.
The darkest hour is before the dawn.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never take a book by the cover.
She's a real book-worm.- Collector
