- (continued from previous page)a sorrowing.
Borrowed horses have hard hoofs.
A narrow gathering gets a wide scattering.
Don't count your chickens until they are hatched.
Don't sell you chickens on a wet day.
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
Strike the iron while it is hot.
Smooth waters run deep.
One swallow does not make a Summer.
Listeners hear no good about themselves.
A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard.
Plant or sow or reap on a Friday and you will never want.
He who never changes his mind has no mind to change.
A wise man takes counsel.
