    (continued from previous page)
    Sleep is the brother of death.
    Two of a trade never agree.
    Mind that you have two ears and one mouth.
    Little pitchers have big ears.
    Don't praise a fair day until night.
    Many a slip twiset cup and lip.
    Don't let your tongue cut off your head.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    Waste not, want not.
    You cannot knock blood out of a turnip.
    A penny wise and a pound foolish.
    Never venture, never win.
    Better be born lucky that rich.
