- When you have a goose you get a goose.
Birds of a feather flock together.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
You cannot whistle and chew meal together.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Better later than never.
One look before is better than two looks behind.
Look before you leap.
It is hard to knock a horse off his trot.
It is not one year a cow wants his tail but every year.
The wind from the east is not good for man or beast.
Many a mickle makes a muckle.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Two wrongs wont make a right.
If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
Pride goes before a fall.
Two balls in your gun Biddy Sheedy.(continues on next page)
