- A rolling stones gathers no moss.
Smooth water run deep.
Far Away hill look green.
A woman is better than a fortune.
A wink is as good as a nod.
If the cap fits you wear it.
Say little do much.
Like father like son.
Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
The weather is a good story better.
Never choose by beauty but by nature.
Chasity begins at home.
Better to die than a lie.
Time and tide waits for no man.
A Stitch in time save nine.
Hunger is good sauce.
Early to be and early to rise is the way to be healthy, wealthy and wise.A silent tongue makes a wise mind.
You can't get wool off a goat.
You never know the shelter of a bush until its cut.
Never too late to learn(continues on next page)
