  1. Proverbs

    New kings make new rules.
    A new broom sweeps clean
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    A stich, stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Bad weeds grow quickly.
    Good corn grows long.
    A hungry eye can see far.

    A good name is better than riches.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    A little leak will sink a great ship.
    A well is never missed until it is dry.
    A straw best shows how the wind blows.
    A kind face is a beautiful face.
    A constant drop wears a hole in a stone.
    Emty vessels make a great sound.
    A rosy apple may be rotten at the core.
