    (continued from previous page)
    The horse with most flies kicks the highest.
    Never trust a horse' hind leg until you see it in a dogs mouth.
    He that fights least fights best and he the fights and runs away shall live to fight another day.
    Never push a man because he is going down the hill.
    A wet and windy day May fills the barn with corn and hay.
