  1. Proverbs
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    An idle mind is the world of the devil.
    A half a loaf is better than none.
    If you do not sow in Spring you will not reap in Autumn.
    Small parcels carry good goods.
    One in the hand is better than two in the bush.
    It is better to go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
    Do not count your chickens until they are hatched.
    Save while the sun shines.
    Do as you would be done by.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    The best of friends must part.
