  1. (continued from previous page)
    will lose it on the revitts. If the world frowns on us, the sun shines on us.
    When frost and snow come both together sit by the fire and spare shoe-leather.
    Say nothing but saw wood.
    The longest day must have an end and the dearest friends must part.
    If you don't venture you won't win, and if you don't knock you won't be let in.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    The longest way round is the safest way home.
    It is as long as a wet Sunday.
    United we stand and divided we fall.
    A bird in a cage is worth two on a bush.
    I hit two birds with the one shot.
    One trouble never comes alone.
