    (continued from previous page)
    A black cat brings good luck.
    Still water runs deep.
    A bird in your hand is wort two in a bush.
    Whatever you can do to day never leave it untill to morrow.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    Earnest in work
    Happy in play
    That is the way to be merry all day.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stones gathers no moss.
    Many a slip between the cup on the lip.
    Better late than ever
    The longest way round is the shortest way home
