- (continued from previous page)daughter is your daughter for ever.
It is lonely to be empty.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
New brooms sweep clean.
A closed mouth makes a wise head.
The truth never choked a man.
Hunger is good sauce.
A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
When wine is in wit is out.
You can't take feathers of a frog.
Every cat after its kind.
The truth is often bitter.
You can't whistle and chew meal at the same time.
Praise youth and it will come,
Well begun is half done.
A friend's eye is a good mirror
The mills of God grind slowly but they grind exceeding small.
Better late than never.
Nearest the heart nearest the mouth.
Health is better than wealth
Still waters run deep.
