  1. (continued from previous page)
    Bend with the tree, that bends with you.
    A new broom sweeps clean, but an old one knows the corners better.
    The ass that carries you is better than the horse that throws you.
    Two heads are better than one if they were only cabbage heads.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    The eye of the master does more work than his two hands.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you'll have corn to sell and keep.
    There is no fool like an old fool.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    God's word is nearer to you than the door.
    What the old cock crows the young
