  1. One day in the country is worth a month in town.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Listen to the noise of the river and you will get a trout.
    Do not count you chickens before they hatched.
    Better be sure than sorry
    Better late than never.
    Health is better than wealth.
    It is the heaviest ear of corn that hangs its head lowest.
    The person who talks most works least.
    The thing that would please me wouldn't please you.
    Better a good run than a bad stand.
    Every one has his own story.
    The long thread of the last tailor.
    The juice of a cow is good alive or dead.
