- A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Strike the iron while it is hot.
He has too many irons in the fire one must cool.
Calm water runs deep.
Clean meat never fattened a pig.
Tools of fifty will never be wise.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
You have not hands to work in a mire moss.
A main pot never boils fair.
It is a foul wind that blows no one fair.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
The poke always smells of the herring.
Light loads make willing horses.
The more haste the less speed.
Time and Tide wait on no man.
Pride feels no pain.
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on and happy is the dead that the rain falls on.
A new broom sweeps well but the old one knows the corners best.(continues on next page)
