- (continued from previous page)Long threatening comes at last.
When it rains it pours.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
- A cat can look at the king.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
Three removes are as bad as a fire.
It is no use crying over spilt milk.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
A bad broom leaves a dirty room.
Knowledge talks slowly.
A kind word turneth away wrath.
Haste makes waste.
Fire is a good servant but a bad master.
One story is good till another is told.
Honest work makes a sound sleep.
Leaking barrels are soon empty,
Procure not friends in haste.
Manners make a man
Honesty is the best policy.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. - Informant
