  1. (continued from previous page)
    you licked it
    Bread against bread is dry
    Half a loaf is better than no bread
    Look before you leap
    A closed mouth catches no flies
    A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse
    A burned child dreads the fire
    The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path
    It's easy to bake beside the mill
    What you have not in your hand you cannot hold it
    Them that are easy got are easy casted
    Charity begins at home but should not end there
    Keep the bad dog with you and the good dog wont bite
