- 2193-6-'38Proverbs
A stitch in time saves nine.
Small children are better seen not heard.
Two heads are better than one.
Far away cows wear long horns.
Handsome is what handsome does. Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Fear and threat doth make me sweat and fraction set me mad.
A March wind would split your shin
A handful of March dust is worth a grasp of the King's hand.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Many hands make light work.
Strike the iron while it is hot.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Willful waste makes woeful want.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Better to live in hopes than to die in despair
Pearls are unlucky, they cause tears.
A black cat it lucky
The tree lies where it falls.Saidee Greene
