    (continued from previous page)
    Never judge a book by its cover.
    It is a bad wind that does not blow fair for someone.
    A person in dispair is like a wrecked ship.
    It is a long road that has no turn.
    Long threatning comes at last.
    He that sows in Spring shall reap in Autumn.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
    Man's work is God's work.
    He that giveth shall receive.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A person in want is like an angry dog.
    You cannot knock a dog off his old track.
