  1. (continued from previous page)
    If you lie with dogs you will rise with fleas.
    It is not the night of the high wind to point the scollop.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. Time and tide tarry for no man.
    He that is down need fear no fall.
    Large streams from little fountains rise.
    One swallow doe snot make a summer.
    Great talkers are never great doers.
    Many little leaks sink a ship.
    Little deeds are like little seeds.
    Every man knows where his own shoe pinches.
    Charity begins at home, but dont let it end there.
    When angry count ten before you speak.
    Better pay the cook than the doctor.
    They who shun smoke often fall into the fire.
