Old Sayings.
Smooth water runs deep.
Seldom seen, more admired.
Enough is as good as a feast
Empty vessels make the most sound.
As clever as a pet fox.

Thinking is bad wit.
As hard as the hammer of hell.
It's hard to spoil a rotten egg.
As sour as vinegar.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.(continues on next page)
