- Where there's a will there's a way.
To many cooks spoil the broth.
Many hands make light work.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Time and tide wait for no man.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The more hurry the less speed.
A wise son maketh a glad father.
A soft answer turneth away wrath.
Good corn grows tall.
Good goods in small parcels.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.
Spear the rod and spoil the child.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Smooth water runs deep.
Stolen goods don't prosper.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.
Everyone to their fancy and me to my fancy.
Wine is a mocker.
There is nothing like a good mixture.
An ill wind does nobody good.
Better late than never.
