- (continued from previous page)What the eye won't see the heart won't feel.
When the cat is out the mice can play.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The life of an old hat is to cock it.
Be quick to think but slow to act.
Rome was not built in a day.
Plough deep while sluggerd sleep and you will have corn to sell and keep.
Handle your tools without mittance.
Where there's a will there's a way
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
If the cap fit wear it.
You cannot put a young head on old shoulders.
Much wants more
One trouble never comes alone.
