    1 If you go beyond the grease you are sure to get burned
    2 Two heads is better than one.
    3 Too late to spare when all is spent.
    4 Bad wind that dont favour somebody
    5 No use in crying over spilled milk but call the dog to lick it.
    6 A new broom sweep clean.
    7 It is never the horse that earns the oats that get it.
    8 The horse with the most marks raises his tail the highest.
    9 Too many cooks spoil the dinner.
    10 Smooth water flows deep.
    11 Tis never too late to learn.
    12 A windy day puts up no squeeze loops.
    13 Experiences teaches fools to keep away from kicking
    14 While the cat is out the mouse can dance.
    15 Honesty is the best of policy.
    16 A bird in the hand is worth too in the bush.
    17 Judge not and you shall not be judged.
    18 It is easier to fall than to rise
    19 Many hands make light work.
    20 A burned child dreads fire.
