  2. Proverbs

    Time is a good storyteller.
    Work is better than talk.
    Your pocket is your friend.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    When spirit moved me I did not think of poverty.
    A son is son 'till he takes a wife,
    A daughter is a daughter all the days of her life.
    A stich in time saves nine.
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
    If the cap suits you, wear it.
