    (continued from previous page)
    Good goods come in small parcels.
    The early bird gets the worm.
    Save your pennies for a rainy day.
    It is difficult to get wool off a goat.
    When the women are there is most talk.
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
    A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
