- A rolling stone gathers no moss."
"New brooms sweep clean."
A stitch in time saves nine."
Empty vessels make most sound,"
Laugh and the world laughs with you."
Weep and you weep alone."
Its an ill wind blows nobody good."
Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird."
Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Rome was not built in a day
Early to bed early to rise makes one happy healthy and wise"
Too many cooks spoil the broth."
Honesty is the best policy,"
March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb."
All is not gold that glitters
June is the month of roses."
The rose is the lady of the land."
If the cuckoo sings on a bare thorn sell your cow and buy corn."
One step and then another and the longest walk is ended."(continues on next page)
