- (continued from previous page)you know.
The nearer to the church the farther from God.
Play not with edge tools.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
What you won't hear won't trouble you.
When jest is best its time to rest.
A lough in the day keeps the doctor away.
A whittling woman a crowing hen wakens the devil out of his den.
Smooth waters run deep.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
What's scare is sweet.
Lunch is better than to rise early.
The world wouldn't make a race horse of an ass.
Big head and little scence.
