- Look before you leap.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
Mocking is catching.
There no smoke without a fire.
Where there's life there's hope.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
He didn't take it off the wind.
Kind father for him.
To himself it may be told.
Signs on him.
Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today.
Dont count you chickens until they are hatched.
Dont take the book by the cover.
When the cats away the mouse can play.
You dont miss the water till the well runs dry.
The least said is soonest mended.
Hunger is a good sauce.
Pride goes before a fall.
Where there's muck there's luck.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
Its a long lane that has no turning.
A full pig in the sty doesnt know a hungry one passing by.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A half loaf is better than no bread.
A fool and his money are easy parted.(continues on next page)
