- It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
Married in May you will rue the day.
Marry in haste and repent at leisure.
Never sell your hen on a wet day.
The far away hills look green.
Two heads are better than one.
March borrowed three days from April to kill the old cow.
The rolling stone gathers no moss.
The early bird cathes the worm.
May the grass never grow on your doorstep.
There are good goods in small parcels.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to day.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Knowledge is no burden.
Show me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
Easy got easy gone.(continues on next page)
