    (continued from previous page)
    There are good, goods in small parcels.
    Its the sun that makes the hay.
    You never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    If a cap fits you, you can wear it.
    The pot calls the kettle black.
    You can guess eggs when you see shells.
    All is well that ends well.
    The devil's children have the devils luck.
