  1. (continued from previous page)
    Whatsoever the hand findeth to do, do with all thy might
    A roving bee gets the honey
    Often a cow does not take after its breed
    It is often that ugly is amiable and handsome unfortunutely
    Take gifts with a sigh, most men give to be paid
    The point of a rush would draw blood from his cheek Y
    ou take your health once too often to the whiskey shop till it gets broken
    The good that is, is better than the good that was
    The back of my hand and the sole of my foot to you applied to ill-natured persons
    Hit a dog with a bone and he will not growl
    A constant guest is never welcome Every day braw makes Sunday a daw The dogs have not eaten up the end of the year yet
    The thing that is not eaten and not stolen will be found
