- (continued from previous page)Experience is the best schoolmaster.
Empty vessels makes the loudest noise.
Better to go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
The best hurlers are always on the ditch.
A nod is as good as a wink.
He does not know B from a bull's foot.
You can kiss the hare's foot for it now.
Curiosity lost paradise.
As old as Methusalem's cat.
Mum's the word.
He was a real mac see.
Sense and nonsense are two things that do not agree.
"Ye are all the same" as the goat said to his feet.
"Life is sweet" as the tailor said as he ran away from the gander.
Maybe I'd rather and I suppose things with no sense.
A stitch in time saves nine.
The cure is worse than the disease.
You cannot squeeze blood from a turnip.
An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron.
The beginning of health is sleep.
Deep waters run smooth.
It is easier to fall than to rise.
Nature is stronger than training.
It is easier said than done.
