  1. Proverbs
    Saying and doing are two things.
    A penny for your thoughts.
    Better late than never.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    The sight of you is good for sore eyes.
    To err is human.
    To forgive is devine.
    Not dead but gone before.
    Liars ought to have good memories.
    Better to die than lie.
    As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion.
    Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.
    Birds of one feather flock together.
    Music halt charms to soothe the savage beast.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A rainbow in the morning is the Shephert's warning, and a rainbow in the night is the Shepherd's delight.
