- Proverbs
A good beginning is half the work.
A bird in your hand is worth two in the bush.
Never count the chickens until they come out.
It is a bad that blows nobody good.
As long as the fox ran he was caught at last.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
He who laughs last laughs best.
Share the rod and spoil the child.
Bend the twig and you will bend the tree.
The longest (ro) way round is the shortest way home.
Pride goes before a fall.
The truth is sometimes bitter.
Look before you leap.
When you burn the candle you might as well the inch.
Suspicion haunts the guilty mind.(continues on next page)
