- (continued from previous page)Birds of a feather flock together.
Fine feathers makes fine birds.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Like father like son.
When the cat is out the mouse can dance.
Never put off till to morrow what you can to to day.
Make hay while the sin shines.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
The first sickness is better then a relapse.
Grumbling makes the loaf no larger.
All is not gold that glitter.
You cannot put an old head on young sholders.
After a storm there comes a calm.
When boys have money they're men.
When their money is spent they're back to boys again.
Children or fools should not handle edged tools.
A leaking barrel is soon empty.
First be just then you may be generous.
Trust not the man who promises with an oath.(continues on next page)
