  1. (continued from previous page)
    It is better to be first in a wood as last in a bog.
    The longest way around is the shortest way home.
    There is no place like home.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    A light heart lives long.
    Better to die than lie.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    Out of sight out of mind.
    Every day has its own duties.
    After a storm comes calm.
    A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay.
    Never take a book by its cover.
    A penny wise and a pound foolish.
    Nature breaks through the eyes of a cat.
    Never too late to mend.
    Time nor tide will not wait for anyone.
