  1. Look before you leap.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    The proof of the pudding lies in the eating.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
    Many hands make light work.
    Pride goeth before a fall.
    A miss is as good as a mile.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    People who live in glass, houses shoulden't throw stones.
    Two heads are better than one.
    A half loaf is better than no bread.
    Honesty is the best police.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Kind words costs nothing.
    Necessities is the mother of invention.
