    (continued from previous page)
    Put a beggar on horseback & he'll ride to the devil.
    Like father like son.
    Spare the rod spoil the child.
    A faithful friend is a strong shield.
    Don't speak until spoken to.
    The darkest night must have a moon.

    You cannot get blood from a turnip.
    He that lays a trap for others is often caught himself.
    You cannot get a tear from a stone.
    One man can bring a horse to water but 20 wont make him drink it.
