- Many hands make light work
A stitch in time saves nine
Where there is a will there is a way
All is not gold that glitters
A wife is better than a fortune
Take the ball at the hop
The nearest and dearest must part
A little pot is soon hot
Honesty is the best policy
There is no hearth-stone like your own hearth-stone
A shut mouth catches no flies
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Still waters run deep
An idle man tempts the devil
Vain folk covet praise
There is not rose without a thorn
Charity begins at home
A good run is better than a bad stand
Doing nothing, doing ill
Health is better than wealth
Live horse and you will get grass
Every one for himself and God for us all
Manners maketh the man
A light heart lives long
The longest way round is the shortest way home(continues on next page)
