- Wise SayingsGod never closed a gap but he opened another.
Its a long road that has no turn.
One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Never take the book by the cover.
Better late than never.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
She watches him as a cat would watch a mouse.
Two many cooks spoils the broth.
It was not off the wind he took it.
Doing and saying are two things.
After a storm come a calm.
Set a beggar on horse back and he will out ride the devil.
The eight of you is good for sore eyes.
Time enough lost the ducks.
The longest way round is the nearest way home.
A person's mouth often broke his nose.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
