  1. (continued from previous page)
    Black cat black kittens
    It is hard to knock an old dog off his trot
    The day of the wind is not the day for the scollops.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    As long as the pitcher is going to the well it will be broken at last
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    Every man knows his own know.
    What's seldom is wonderful
    LIttle apples will grow again & pockets will hang.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    Never take book by the cover
    Still water runs deep
    Dont bid the devil good morrow until you meet him
    Whats good for the goose is good for the gander
    Make hay while the sun shines
