OLD SAWS IN RHYME.
Too many irons don't keep in the fire;
The 1aborer's worthy indeed of his hire.

Too many irons don't keep in the fire;
The laborer's worthy indeed of his hire.
he is nobody's fool; like two peas in pod;
An honest man is the work noblest OF God
Sweet tooth in his head; enough's good as q
feast:
Business first pleasure afterward: last but
not least.
Anticipation is pleasanter than
Reality is; nine tailors make a man.
You can't teach your grandmother how to suck
eggs;
Never chooser can one be who begs.
Fire good servant is, but bad master;
Laughter is truly poor persons plaster
Heavy weather it is when it's showing in bed;
Your best foot put forward; hit the nail on the
head
Fate has no feeling; what is done is done;
And two heads are always much better than
Lies travel so fast that truth can't overtake
'em.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket to break
'em.
From Dan to Beersheba; don't hit man
down:
Uneasy the head lies that weareth a crown
Laziness is the true parent of vice;
Lightning don't strike in one place ever twice.
Without rhyme or reason; honored more in the
breach
Than in the observance; he sticks like a
leech.
The borrowers servant to lender; fear lends
Him wings; do not bite off your cake at both
ends.
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes man healthy and wealthy and wise.
At home begins charity: after the cake
The stomach ache cometh; do good for goods
sake.
Misery company likes; bag of wind;
Eels, getting used to it, like to be skinned.
The fools are not dead yet; word to the wise;
Beauty's blossom; close mouths catch no
flies.
When the sun is in the westlazy folks work the
best;
A sin half forgiven is when it's confessed.
AS the old rooster crows so the young rooster
learns;
Some folks never know water browns and fire
burns
Charity covers a great many sins;
AS fine as fiddle; on needles and pins.
Young men for action, for council the old;
All things that glitter by no means are gold.
