    (continued from previous page)
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    Its a long road that hasent a turn.
    If you keep the good dog with
    the bad dog wont bite
    It's nice to get up in the morning but
    its nicer to stay in your bed.
    If you dont sow in Spring you wont
    reap in harvest.

    Proverbs
    Your as busy as a bee in a tar bottle
    More power says ould power when young power
    was born
    Your tongue is as long as wet Sunday.
    Fishing and fowling goes be art. The man who
    tills the ground shall fill the cart.
    Be the morthal frast tis freezing cold
    Many way for choking a cat besides choking
    him with butter
    Before you marry be sure and have a house
    to tarry
    Give me a halfpenny of "prew" "set" "stand" Jack.
