Better to go to bed without your supper than to rise in (deft) debt.
She did not burn seven turfstack with him yet.
A new brook sweeps clean but the old one knows where the dirt lies best
A penny for your thoughts.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
It is not the coat that makes the man.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
you will never know the want of water to the well goes dry.
As good to be out of the world as to be out of the fashion.
Taking out of the meal tub and never putting in to it soon comes the bottom.
The early bird gets the early work.
Three removes are is bad as a fire.(continues on next page)
