  1. (continued from previous page)
    Laziness is a heavy load.
    Two shortens a road.
    When the cat is out the mice are dancing.
    It is never too late to mend.
    It is better late than ever.
    The cows over the sea have long horns.
    What would kill one would cure another.
    An idle brain is the devil's playground.
    One look before is better than two looks behind you.
    It is easy to knead beside the meal
    A lazy person depends on every one
    Dont depend on anyone to do your work or it will be left
