- (continued from previous page)Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Make hay while the sun shines.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
Too may cooks spoil the broth.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
God's help is nearer than the door.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
God never sends a trouble, but he sends something to overcome it.
It's a bad hound that's not worth a whistle
After the storm comes the calm.
A watched pot never boils.
Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can, It is seldom in a woman, nut never in a man.
Look before you leap.
One man's meat, is another man's poison.
A place for everything, and everything in its own place.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
The more haste, the less speed.
Between two stools, you'd come to the ground.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Practice makes perfect.
Experience teaches, but it's a dear school.
By mistakes we learn.
You can't eat your loaf and have it.(continues on next page)
