- (continued from previous page)For the rain that is coming to-morrow is a mile upon its way.
If in failing health March searches,
April tries. May tells whether you live or die,
The cure is as bad as the disease.Be slow to promise but quick to perform.The mill is always grinding, grinding course and fine alike.What's good for the patient ought to be good for the doctor.
Blood is thicker than water.
You cant fly without wings.
Sew on Sunday, rip on Monday.
Dont lose the sheep for a penny worth of tar.
