    (continued from previous page)
    Selling honey and buying sweets
    The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.
    There is no hearth like your own.
    East or West, home is best.
    The world can't make a race-horse out of an ass.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Two heads are better than one.
    Many hands make light work.
    Waste not, want no.
