- (continued from previous page)Every dog will have his day.
Early to bed early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Every dog is still at his own door.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard.
It is a long lane that has no turnings.
A wise man carries his coat on a fine day.
It is hard to put a wise head on young shoulders.
A person who beats your dog would beat yourself.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The darkest hour is just before the dawn.
Pride goes before a fall.
Many hands make light work.
Every dog barks at his own door.
It is to late to spare when all is gone.
You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
Practise what you preach.
When all fruit fails welcome haws.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
When wine is in wit is out.
As the tree bends so will it lie.(continues on next page)
