- (continued from previous page)a lamb.
Exchange is no robbery.
Never judge the book by the cover.
The darkest hour is before dawn.
- A good beginning is half the work.
A light heart lives long.
A watched pot never boils.
There are good goods in small parcels.
You never miss the water till the well runs dry.
What would you expect from an ass but a kick.
Beg from a beggar and you never will be rich. - Collector

- Birds of a feather flock together.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
You never miss the water till the well goes dry.
Time and tide wait for no man.
