    (continued from previous page)
    no turning
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    Cut my head and give me a plaster
    It's a wise man that carries his coat
    A full purse makes a lighht heart
    Many hands make light work
    Two heads are wiser than one
    Whats bread in the bone is hard to knock out of the flesh
    Tisnt the day of the wind they day of the scollop
    Quinched coals are easy kindled
    There is more in your head than a comb would take out
    Every cat after its kind
    tisnt off the wind you took it or the grass
