    (continued from previous page)
    There is no fool like an old fool.
    The world could not make a racehorse of an ass.
    A good wife is better than a fortune.
    The old dog for the hard road.
    A good soldier never looks behind h im.
    You can't whistle and eat meal.
    You can't make a piano out of a bacon box.
    It's late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen.
    Beauty does not boil the pot.
    Look before you leap.
