  1. (continued from previous page)
    Its a long road that has no turning.
    Its hard to make a hunter out of an ass.
    The devil you know is better than the devil you dont know.
    Its dearly earned butter that is licked off a briar.
    You are not the only pebble on the beach.
    It is a cure for sore eyes to see you.
    What could you expect from a pig but a grunt.
