- Its along lane that has no turning.
Its an ill wind that does not blow some one good.
Satin finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.
Hunger is good sauce.
Health is better than wealth
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
As you live you die.

Many hands make light work.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Apples will grow again.
More haste the less speed.
You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
A green Christmas makes a fat Graveyard.(continues on next page)
