  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Extravagance is youth brings wait in old age.
    It is difficult to cut wool of a goat.
    A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
    A new brush sweeps clean.
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
    Fine feathers make fine birds
    The pride of a beggar is worse then the sting of a badger.
    Your pocket is your friend.
    A good beginning is half the work.
