- (continued from previous page)fleas.
Fair play is bonny play.
Live horse and get grass.
- The early bird catches the early worm.
When you are down down with you.
Early to bed early to rise Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Sweet Saturday night and sour Monday morning.
We are all chip of the same block.
A new broom sweeps clean.
It is never too late to mend.
Hunger is good sauce.
A watched kettle never boils.
You might as well be sucking honey off thorns.
As tight as twopence in a rag.
A straight tree can have crooked roots.(continues on next page) - Collector
