  1. (continued from previous page)
    It is a good horse that is able to draw his own load.
    The darkest hour is the hour before dawn.
    Every person is a doctor after sickness.
    He who goes shearing a pig may expect little wool.
    Blessed are they who expect little for they are seldom disappointed.
    Hunger is a goo sauce.
    There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    Its a long lane that has no turn.
