- (continued from previous page)A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Idle people never prosper.
As a man lives so shall he die.
Many hands make light work.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scollop.
Fools chrush in where angels fear to thread.
A sight of you is good for sore eyes.
Cabbage is better than fast.
Illness and want are sad calamites in any place.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A civil denial is a rude grant.
A good wife and health are a mans wealth.
If you do not sow in Spring you will not reap in Autumn.
Fools make feasts but wise men eat them.
Look before you leap.
A good beginning is half the work.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Every savage loves his native home.
After a storm comes a calm.
Every little counts.
Plough deep while slugards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and keep.
As often as the pitcher goes to the well it will comes back broke in the end.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
