    (continued from previous page)
    Take care of the pounds and the pence will take of themselves.
    A watched pot never boils.
    As cute as a fox.
    Always look before you leap.
    A full pig in the sty does not think of a hungry pig going by.
    He that buys meat buys bones
    He that buys land buys stones.
    A still tongue makes a wise head.
