“Birds of a feather flock together...”
Birds of a feather flock together.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Live horse and you’ll get grass.
Many hands make light work.
The devil’s children the devils luck.
A watched pot never boils.
Curiosity killed the cat.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A penny saved is a penny got.
The hills are greener far away.
Little said is easily mended.
You cannot paint the lily white.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Never put off til tomorrow what you can today.
Always going to the meal tub and never putting in.
You may bring a horse to the well but you cannot make him drink.
Hear and see but say nothing.
It is a long road that has no end.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.(continues on next page)
