- (continued from previous page)The fools money does not last long
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Silence is golden
Rome was not built in a day
Things do not always turn out as we expect
Birds of a feather flock together
Good words cost nothing and are worth much
Even the truth is not believed from the liar
The longest way round is the shortest way home
A burned child dreads the fire
Don't count the chickens before they are hatched
Look before you leap
Many a change youth undergoes
A good beginning is half the work
A bird on a hand is better than two on a bush
A little pot is soon hot
The ill wind blows good for someone
The greedy do not know when they have had enough
He who grasps much looses all
He who steals a pin shall live to steal a greater thing
Earn gold and wear silk
Better late than never
Earl to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
