  1. Birds of a feather flock together and so does cobbler's children
    Ill got. Ill gone.
    Look up look down before you cross the road.
    When the cat is out the mouse can play
    Never put by until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    God's mill grinds slow but sure.
    Dead with tea and dead without it
    A barking dog seldom bites.
    A watched pot never boils.
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    The early bird catchs the worm.
    A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in the docter's book.
    An apple a day keeps the docter away
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
