- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Cows across the sea have long horns.
Hills are green far away.
Where the wemon are there is talk.
If you don't sow in spring you. won't reap in Autumn.
Every one has his own story.
Never judge the book by the cover.
Hunger is good sauce.
Your pocket is your friend.
Fine feathers make find birds.
A new brush sweeps clean.
It's a long road that has not a turn.
A stitch in time saves mine.
Its often a persons mouth broke his nose(?).
A good beginning is half the work.
A borrow horse has hard hooves.
Spare the rod and spoile the child.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
The long thread of the lazy tailor.
A closed mouth and a wise head.(continues on next page)
