    (continued from previous page)
    A burnt child dreads the fire
    Its hard to get a good hook for a bad reaper.
    The early bird gets the worm
    If you dont sow you wont reap.
    What you dont hear wont hurt you.
    His bark is worse than his bite
    You never miss the water until the well goes dry
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Time and patience brings a snail to Jerusalem
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    When the cats away the mice play away.
