  1. (continued from previous page)
    not throw stones.
    Live horse and you'll get grass.
    What is natural can't be wonderful.
    Birds of feather flock together.
    Tell me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
    It is a bad hound that is not worth whistling for.
    There is no old shoe that would not get an old stocking
    Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    Make hay while the sun shines.

  2. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    A good start is half the work.
    Winds from the east is not good for man or beast.
    The back of the door is next to the wall
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
    Don't ever take the book by the cover.
    Once down is no battle.
