    (continued from previous page)
    Watch pot and it will never boil,
    Waste not want not
    Live horse and you will get grass
    What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
    Rich relations won't acknowledge their poor ones
    You can't put an old head on young shoulders,
    Bend the rod but you can't bend the (stick) tree,
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    What is scarce is sweet,
    No old shoe but meets an old stocking
    What the old cock crows the young cock learns,
    Beg of a beggar and you will never be rich
    Bad egg bad bird.
