    Proverbs.
    A new broom sweeps clean
    Never throw out the dirty water until the clean water is in.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    The day of the storm is no day for the scollops.
    There is no sock but will met an old shoe.
    Nature breaks out in the eye's of the cat.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss and a roving girl gathers no brass.
    An old sow is no mutton.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    Look before you leap.
    The back of the fire is near the hob and the middle of the bridge is half way over.
    A morning's sun does not last the whole day.
    Make the hay while the sun shines.
    Take the ball at the first hop.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ.
    There is no help or cure against death.
