- (continued from previous page)Live horse and you will get grass.
There is luck for rakes.
Never take the book by the cover.
Of all fools going the greatest is he who tries to do what cannot
A man without learning and wearing fine clothes is like a golden ring in a Guinea pig's nose.
Time and patience will bring a snail to Jerusalem.
Put a beggar on horse back and he will ride to perdition
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise
Fools walk where angels fear to tread.
No fool like an old fool.
If you play with fire you will scorch your fingers.
God help those who help themselves.
The devil tempts every man but an idle man tempts the devil.
