- Proverbs
Hills are green far away.
It is better late than never.
The day of the high wind is not the day for making scollops.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
Work is better than talk.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in the hand is worth
two on a bush.
The truth is often bitter.
One man watching than
three man working.
It is never too late to mend.
It is a long road that has not
a turn.
Rome was not built in a day.
As long as the fox goes he
is caught at last.
Time is a good story teller.
An ounce of liberty is better than a pound of gold.
An hour in the morning is
worth two at night.(continues on next page)
