- (continued from previous page)A new broom sweeps clean.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
Every picture tells a story.
Make hay while the sun shines.
There is no fireside like your own fireside.
Nature breaks through the eyes of a cat.
'Tis the early bird catches the worm.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
Health is better than wealth.
It is too late to be sharpening ones sword when the drum beats to battle.
It is hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
When the cat is out the mouse can play.
Nearly never caught a hare.
