    (continued from previous page)
    When the north wind doth blow we shall have snow.
    A thing that is got easily is spent easily.
    As poor as a church mouse.
    Far away hills are green,
    It's a long lane that has no turning.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    You never miss the water till the well is dry.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    Look before you leap.
    Your pocket is your friend.
    One good turn deserves another.
