- Hills are green far away.
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
One good turn deserves another.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Necessity is the mother of invention.

A stitch in time saves nine.
Win the gold before you wear it.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Two heads are wiser than one.(continues on next page) - Collector
