    Proverbs
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
    A stitch in time saves nine
    A good beginning is half the work
    An Apple a day keeps the doctor away
    A new broom sweeps clean
    A full purse makes the hearth light
    A thing that is got easy is spent easy
    A little tastes sweet
    A good word never broke a persons mouth
    A borrowed horse has hard hoofs
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
