- (continued from previous page)both his hands.
Fancy buys the ribbon. Where there is a will there is a way.
It is a long road that has no turning.
Long churning makes bad butter.
The darkest hour is that before the dawn.
A mill won't grind with the water that is gone past.
A lie has no legs. When the cat is away the mice can play.
Man purposes but God disposes.
It takes a liar to have a great memory.
A burned child fears the fire.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Don't sell your hen on a rainy day.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe the horse was lost, for want of a horse the rider was lost and all for the want of a horse-shoe nail.
One good trick is better than ten bad ones.
Between two stools you come to the ground.
The early bird gets the early worm.
