   There are very many proverbs used in talking such as -a stitch in time saves nine that means that if a person had a hole in their dress and the minute they see it they put a stitch in it and (they) if they dident do that they would have to put nine stitches in it. When there is a will there is way, never leave of till to morrow what you can today, always look before you leap. A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush. I hit the two birds with the one stone. Hes as full of invention a an eggs full of meat, shes as mild as new milk. Its not usual to hate the tree and spare the branches. A nods as good as a wink to a blind horse. A close mouth is the sign of a wise head. I trust him as far as I could throw a cow by the tail.
