- (continued from previous page)Smooth water runs deep. The nearest the bone the sweeter the flesh.Wilful waste gives woeful want. Last is the luckiest.He who laughs last laughs best.When all fruits fall welcome haul. A rolling stone gathers no moss. He who grasps at too much looses all. A tinker's wife and a tailor's wife never agrees. An empty sack cannot stand upright.Empty vessels make the most noise.Keep something for a sore foot.It is God that sends.God keeps those who keep themselves.Birds of a feather flock together.Ignorance is a heavy load.Between two stools you come to the ground.Hills are green far away.Let each one praise the fool as he finds it.One without dinner means two for supper.The world wouldn't make a racehorse of an ass.He is a good hurler who sits on the fence.
Everyone has his own story.Hell is paved with good intentions.The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Good people tells us the news.
