    (continued from previous page)
    Strike the iron while it is hot.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Never put off 'till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    Time is a good fortune - teller.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Small leaks sink big ships.
    A good name is better than riches.
    Praise a fair day at night.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    The man at the ditch is the best hurler.
    A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard.
