Old Sayings.
Hunger is good Sauce.
Your pocket is your friend
The man on the ditch is the best hurler.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
It is a bad wind that does not favour somebody.
A stitch in time saves nine
You should never wait for the stormy day to eat the scallops.
He that never ventures never wins.
A watched pot never boils.
A friend in need is a friend in deed
Thinking is bad wit.
A burned child dreads fire.
Once down is not battle.(continues on next page)
