   (continued from previous page)

   A friend in need is a friend indeed.
   Old birds are not caught with chaff.
   A good conscience is better than gold.
   April showers bring on May flowers.
   Never count your chickens until they are hatched.
   Never put off until to morrow what you can do to day.
   You never know the want of water until the well runs dry.
   You can't make a silk purse from a sows "lug"
   Marry is haste repent at leisure.
   It is time enough to bid the "divil" good morrow till you meet him.
   Slow and steady wins the race.
   Its a sad heart that never rejoices.
   Good goods are made up in small parcels.
   Hills are green far away.
   Long churning makes tough butter.
   A wise head keeps a closed mouth.
   Never venture never win.
