- Proverbs.
While the cat is away the mice play.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Hunger is good sauce.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
What can you expect from a pig but a grunt.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
He who sows in Spring reaps in Autumn.
Many hands make light work.
Many hands make mischief.
It takes two to make a row.
Dead with tea and dead without it.
A bird in a hand is worth two in the bush.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.(continues on next page)
