- It's a long road that has no turn.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Let not your sail be bigger than your boat.
Honesty is the best policy.
A cat can look at a king.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
For want of a nail the shoe is lost, for want of a shoe the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost.
'Tis well to be merry and wise
'Tis well to be honest and true,
'Tis well to be off with the old love
Before you are on with the new.
Make hay while the sun shines.
It is not the day of big wind that a farmer should cut his scollops.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness.(continues on next page)
