Sing for your supper.
What shall I sing? White bread and butter. How shall I cut it Without any knife? How shall I marry Without any wife? PROVERBS AND POPULAR SAYINGS. At sixes and sevens. Beauty is but skin deep. Half a loaf is better than no bread. Better late than never. Better live well than long. Beware of no man more than thyself. Birds of a feather will flock together. Christmas comes but once a year; And when it comes, it brings good cheer; But when it's gone, it's never the near. Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better. By fits and starts. By and by is easily said. Care will kill a cat. Cats hide their claws. Constant dropping wears the stone. Count not your chickens before they are hatched. |
