  1. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    There is no cure for spilt milk.
    It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Many hands makes light work.
    Better late than never.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Early to bed and early to rise,makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise.
    Health is better than wealth.
    Always taking out of the meal-tub and never putting in soon brings it to the bottom.
    Many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
