  1. The boneless tongue so small and weak can wound and kill so say the Greek.
    Better late than never.
    When the old cock crows the yound one learns.
    Man proposes while God disposes.
    A stitch in time shall save nine.
    The early bird gets the first worm.
    What is good for the child is good for the nurse.
    A half loaf is better than none.
    The more the merrier.
    A new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows the corners.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
