- (continued from previous page)Fools make feasts to have wise men eat them.
A watched pot never boils.
Have it yourself or be without it.
The longer you live the more you learn.
Continue your knitting and you will soon at the heel.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
You are as long as a wet Sunday.
The longest way round is the nearest way home.
