    (continued from previous page)
    A tinker's wife and a tailor's wife never agree.
    They are as great as a cow at a cock of hay.
    If you plant potatoes on Good Friday they will be lucky.
    The lazy man's load.
    Old people say if you put a goose to hatch on a Friday, it is a lucky day.
    A Stitch in time saves nine.
    Good turns bring good returns.
    Hard work is not easy.
    There is no hearth like your own hearth.
    He who does not sow in the spring will not reap in the harvest.
