  1. (continued from previous page)
    There is no hearth like your own hearth.
    Judge not at first sight.
    Many hands make light work.
    Many men have many minds.
    To late to save when all is spent.
    Birds of feathers flock together.
    The cat has leave to look at the queen.
    A little is sweet.
    It's a long road that has not a turn.
    It's an ill wind that does not blow someone good.
    Charity begins at home.
    When poverty comes in the front door luck goes out the back window.
    Never throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water in.
    The old dog for the long road and the pup for the boreen.
