- (continued from previous page)Misfortunes never come singly
If you want to know me come and live with me
Live horse and you will get grass
The truth is sour
Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt
eaten bread is soon forgotten
Fools build houses for wise men to live in
Experiences keep a dear school
Cap fit him, cap wear him
He who is too greedy often loses all
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Out of sight out of mind
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
It's never too late to mend
Still waters run deep
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
A burned child dreads the fire
Everything to help the lame dog over the stile
Nature breaks through the eye of a cat
Ill got is ill gone
When you lie down with the dogs you rise with the fleas.The information above was obtained from many sources, family, parents and people.
