- (continued from previous page)as well as on a bad day.
As the old cock crows the young one learns.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Barking dogs seldom bite.
Little brooks make great noise.
Least said is soonest mended.
Never praize a fair day till night.
Between two stools you come to the ground.
Time and tide waits for no man.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Perserverance wins in the end.
Laziness never offends you.
If you believe what you hear you will eat what you see.
Everyone wants to have his own way.
Big head and little sense.
It is easier to fall than to rise.
What the pooka writes let him read it himself.
The long thread of the lazy tailor.
Never leave off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
You never miss your mother till she's gone.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
Long churning makes bad butter.(continues on next page)
