Real Life Proverbs

A secondary school teacher made a list of some well known proverbs and gave the class
the first half of the proverbs, so that they could complete the sayings. Here’s what they
came up with:

As you make your bed so shall you . . . mess it up.
Better to be safe than . . .  hit a teacher.
You can lead a horse to water but . . . how?
Don’t bite the hand that . . . looks dirty.
A miss is as good as a . . . mr.
You can’t teach an old dog . . . maths.
The pen is mightier than the . . . pigs.
An idle mind is . . . the best way to relax.
There’s no smoke without . . . pollution.
A penny saved . . . is not much.
Two’s company, three’s . . . the musketeers.
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and . . . you must blow your own nose.
Children should be seen and not . . . smacked or grounded.
When the blind leadeth the blind . . . best get out of the way.
Never underestimate the power of . . . termites.
No news is . . . impossible.
Love all, trust . . . me.
Don’t put off till tomorrow what . . . you put on to go to bed.
None are so blind as . . . Stevie Wonder.
If at first you don’t succeed . . . get new batteries.
People in glass houses shouldn’t . . .  run around naked.
