   Proverbs
   A stitch in time saves nine.
   Empty vessels make more sound.
   Don’t put anything on the long finger.
   Birds of a feather flock together.
   Half a loaf is better than no bread.
   Foreign cows have long horns.
   Spare the rod and spoil the child.
   To bed with the dark and up with the lark.
   Have a thing yourself or do without it.
   Nature breaks out through the eyes of the cat.
   Spare the butter, the jam is cheap.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
   All that glisters is not gold.
   A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
   The help of God is nearer than the door.
   Money makes the mare go.
   Practice makes perfect.
   The care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
   Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
   He walks quickest who walks alone.
   Laugh and world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.
