- (continued from previous page)You're too slow for your own funeral.
Live in hope and die in want.
No clay too hard for try to plough.
What goes by nature costs no money.
Shake before taking like a doctors bottle
- While grass will grow water will flow.
Just going to do it like the priest's girl.
Every crow thinks her own crow the whitest.
Smooth water runs deep.
A new broom sweeps clean.
As long as the picther keeps going to the well it will get broken in the long run.
Never take the book by the cover.
There is never an old stocking that does not meet an old shoe.
Constant dropping wears a stone.
Like a cow milking a bucket of milk and spilling it again.
Where there is life there is hope.
When the old cock crows the young cock learns.
A nod is as good as a wink for a blind horse.
Honesty is the best policy.
