- (continued from previous page)ProverbsThe man on the land is a good boatman.
You can lock from a rogue but not from a liar.Teresa Rawson, Coolafancy - It is not the noisiest that bears most and labours hardest.
A bird never flew on one wing.
Everyone throws apples in an orchard.
He who rises late never does a good days work. - The horse has not quite escaped that drags its halter.
The brighter the moon shines, the more the dogs howl.
One years seeding is nine years weeding.
Mettle is dangerous in a blind horse.
Leave your jest when its at its best.
Love without end has no end.
Lose an hour in the morning and you will be all day finding it.(continues on next page)- Collector
