  1. (continued from previous page)
    shepherds warning and a rainbow at night is the shepherds delight.
    No matter how long the day is the night will come.
    A windy day is not the day for the scolp.
    Never count the chickens until they are out.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    A good beginning is half the battle.
    A watchkettle never boils.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    That man has a lot of pisrogs
