- (continued from previous page)Its too late to lock the stable when the horse is stolen.
Keep your shop & your shop will keep you
If things were done twice all would be wise.
- Far off God sends.
A light-healed mother, makes a heavy-healed daughter.
A change of work is as good as a rest.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
A wet and a windy May, fills the haggard with corn and hay.
A wet May, and a dry June, makes the farmer whistle a merry tune.
A fair February, is cursed by all the other months of the year.
A pack of March dust, is worth a kings ransom.
What's sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander.
What's good for the cock, is good for the hen.
The wind north-east, is good for neither man nor beast.
Like father like son.(continues on next page) - Collector
