  1. A good name is better than wealth.
    A good word costs nothing.
    A false friend is worse than a bitter enemy.
    A penny saved is a penny gained.
    A man is known by the company he keeps.
    A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    ?
    A little rain lays much dust.
    A little spark makes a great flame.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Better late than never.
    Barking dogs seldom bite.
    Cut your coat according to your measure.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Example is better than precept.
    Evil beginnings have bad endings.
    Friends are plenty when the purse is full.
    Good ware makes quick markets.
