- (continued from previous page)People in glass house should not throw stones.
Change not a clout till May is out.
Time and tide waits for no man.
A burned child dreads the fire.
Far away cows wares long horns.
The more hurry the less speed.
A cold in May you will ruin the day.
They think little who speak too much.
A little pot is soon hot.
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in a doctor's book.
A stirring foot will get something even a thorn.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Little said is easily mended.
Laugh and grow fat.
Tell me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
There is good goods in small parcels.
Laugh and the would laughs with you.
Eat and drink and pay for nothing.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Early to bed early to rise makes a man wealthy and wise.(continues on next page)
