- There are a lot of proverbs which I heard from time to time and here are some. "Many hands make light work." "A stich in time saves nine." "Live horse and you will get grass" "A rolling stone gathers no moss" means the if you keep going from place to place you will never have anything "Fair and easy goes far in a day" means that if you work easy you will have a lot done because if you work hard you will get tired. "The truth is always bitter" means that it is always hard to tell the truth. "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush means that to have one thing is better than to have two promised to you.
