- (continued from previous page)The nearer the church the father from God.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
Kind words cost little.
Too greedy loses all.
A woman's excuse is nearer to her than her apron.
It is a bad dog that is not worth whistling for.
New brooms sweep clean.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
If you live in a glass house don't throw stones.
Live in hopes even if you die in despair.
The proof of the pudding is the eating of it.
He that fights and runs away shall live to fight another day.
Late to bed late to rise makes a man beg before he dies.
The early bird gets the early worm.
Convince a man against his will and he'll have his own opinion still.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
