- (continued from previous page)is worth a silver spoon.
A swarm of bees in July is not worth a fly.It's a long road that has no turn
A watched pot never boils.
A new broom sweeps clean.
If you have time don't wait for time.
A man without patience is a lamp without oil.
Its an empty friendship that comes to a full purse.
As merry as a lark.
As snug as a bug in a rug.
Its not off the ground he licked it.
Running after a pig and his tail greased.
Pulling the divil be the tail.
It ran off him like water of a duck.
A he' north short o' the nen' orth.Its a very good world to live in, to lend or to spend or to give in. But to beg or to borrow or to get back your own. Its the freaniest world that ever was known.
