  1. (continued from previous page)
    Nature breaks out through the eye of a cat.
    You can't whistle and eat meal.
    You can't eat your loaf and have it.
    It's never too late to mend.
    Little pitchers have big ears.
    better late than never.
    God is nearer than the door.
    He laughs best who laughs last.
    Often laughing and half at yourself.
    It's a long lane that has no turning.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
