- Proverbs.A watched pot never boils.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
Beauty never made the pot boil.
Easy got easy goes.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
A bird in your hand is worth two in the bush.
Live horse and you will get grass.
A rollng stone gathers no moss.
Foreign cows have long horns.
