    (continued from previous page)
    bin an never putting any in soon comes to the bottom.
    A horse with the most marks will kick the highest.
    Never trust an orange man's laugh or a horse's heel.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
    A watched pot never boils.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    It is no use to throw water on a drowned rat.
    The longer you'll live the more you'll hear.
    You are never too old to learn.
