- Always taking out of the pot and never putting into it soon comes to the bottom.Never leave till to morrow what you can do to day.Beauty never boils the pot.Fancy goes beyond beauty.If ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise.There is never a high water but there is a low water.Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on and happy is the bride that the sun shines on.A new brush sweeps clean.It's a long lane that has not a turning.One man's meat is another man's poison.It's all ill-wind that blows no good.Butter to Butter is no kitchen.A constant drip will wear away a stone.A watched pot never boils.What's done cannot be undone.A burnt child dreads the fire.You can't have your loaf and eat it.There is no help for spilt milk.Time and tide wait for no man.(continues on next page)
