- (continued from previous page)sorrowing.
Rome was not built in a day.
A new broom sweeps clean.
A cat mey look on a king.
Enough is as good as a feast.
Birds of a feather will flock together.
You can't judge a horse by the harness.
Don't throw out the dirty water until the clean water comes in.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Hills look green far away.
The man on the ditch is always the best player.
You should never judge the book by the cover.
Don't count your chickens until they are hatched.
It's a bad hen that cannot scrape for herself.
