- (continued from previous page)The hills are not all green far away.
Better late than never.
It is not all sunshine far away.
For the want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For the want of a horse the rider was lost, and all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
Far away what God sends.
When trouble comes crack your thumbs.
After a storm comes a calm.
The cat can look at the King.
The longest way around is the shortest way home.
When it rains it pours.
A new brush sweeps clean.
It is too late to spare when all is spent.
Beauty will not boil the pot.
Where there is a will there is many a slip.
