    (continued from previous page)
    The nearer the rock the sweeter the grass
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    I never saw an oftremoved tree or an oftremoved family trove as well as those who settled be.
    Still water runs deep and sand lies below.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Never throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water in
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    If Candlemas day be bright and clear there will be two winters in the one year.
