    (continued from previous page)
    A fool and his money is easily parted.
    If you don't earn your own bread you'll have to eat some other man's.
    It's not the day of the wind the day of the scallop.
    Where there's muck there's luck
    Too much of one thing is good for nothing
    It's a bad dog that's not worth whistling for.
    A watch pot never boils
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
    The ass that carries wine drinks water
