  1. Proverbs

    It was't of the ground he licked it.
    Never sell your hen on a rainy day.
    Bad looks are bad companions.
    Never look a gift horse in the mouth
    If you are poor be sure no freedom make.
    Your rekoned a fool though true or wise you spake.
    Like a "Salvation Army."
    Many walk on their heels to save soles.
    Long churning makes bad butter
    There's many a change in a Spring's day.
