  1. (continued from previous page)
    There is no use in throwing apples into an orchard.
    You cant burn a candle at the two ends.
    There's many a way for choking a dog besides choking him with butter.
    Die dog or eat a hatchet.
    You only reap what you sow.
    Worse luck now better again.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Strike the iron while its hot.
    Just in time to be late.
    Bite off your nose to spite your face.
    Well done says old done when young done was born
