- Faint heart never won fair lady
A rolling stone gathers no moss
It's no use crying over spilt milk
A stitch in time saves nine
A man's house is his castle
Out of the frying pan into the fire
New brooms sweep clean
Kill two birds with one stone
No rose without a thorn
Many hands make light work
Its the early bird that catches the worm
When the cat is away the mice can play
What's seldom is wonderful
Beware of him who does not talk much
Strike while the iron is hot
Little good is the good that is boasted of
A man without a dinner is two for supper
Honesty is the best policy
It's like asking the cat for his skin
Nature bears out through the eyes of a cat
Nature goes further than training(continues on next page)
