  2. Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    A bird in your hand is better than two in a bush.
    Time or tide will wait for no man.
    Behind time like the back of a clock.
    To many cooks spoil the broth.
    Never put business on the long finger.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    One fool makes many.
    A watched pot is never boiled.
    It never to late to learn.
    Never count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Better be sure than sorry.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    After a storm there comes a calm.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Many the dark and foggy morning brought a bright and sunny day.
    There is a show made for every old stocking.
