- (continued from previous page)It's hard to put on an old head on young shoulders.
Smoother waters run deep
Like father - like son.
You can't get wool off a goat.
Fools and their money are easily parted.
You can't change the spots of a leopard.
Second thoughts are always best. - You cannot get blood from a stone.
Borrowed horses have hard hooves.
Blood is thicker than water.
He who has much gets more.
An idle mind is the devils workshop.
Let us bury the hatchet.
Don't hide your light under a bushel.
Never cross a bridge till you come to it.
Don't meet the devil half-way.
What you never had you'll never miss.
Its always better to be sure than sorry.
