  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    A blind man is a bad judge of colours
    Hunger is good sauce
    What you wont hear wont sicken you
    People meet but hills or mountains dont
    Your pocket is your friend
    A little help is worth a lot of sympathy
    It's time enought to bid the devil good morrow till you meet him
    When the cuckoo lies on a bare torn sell your cow and buy corn
    Tomuch of one thing is good for nothing
    A friend in need is a friend in deed
    Every body throws water on the drowned rat
    The longest day has a end
    The old fool is the worst fool
    A wet and windy May
