  1. Live horse and you will get grass.
    Better late than never.
    The world would not make a racehorse out of a donkey.
    The best of clerks make mistakes
    You could not get blood out of a turnip.
    Don't see your hen on a rain day.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    If that is so call me Davy.
    You can never depend on the latter end of a Friday or the begining of a Satuday.
    Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to day.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
