- (continued from previous page)Live horse and eat grass.
The more hurry the less speed.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man happy healthy, wealthy and wise.
What is worth doing is worth doing well.
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on and happy is the corps that the rain rains on.
I have seen you already as the cat said to the hot milk.Sean Nevin

- The loud laugh bespeaks the vacant mind.
An empty bag cannot stand, nor a dead cat cannot walk.
One black beetle knows another.
An empty pot makes the most sound,
The darkest hour comes before dawn.
Cows over the sea have long horns.
Better the devil you know that the devil you do not know.
Going from the frying pan in to the fire.
Time and tide wait for no one. Sean Nevin
