- A rolling stone gathers no moss.
The beginning of a shower is a mist.
Hills are green far away.
A persons mouth often broke his nose.
Better late than never.
The beginning of health is sleep.
It is not the big men that reap the harvest.
Dont judge the book by the cover.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Charity begins at home, but do not let it end there.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The early birds catches the early worm.
Rome was not built in a day.
The world would not make a racehorse out of an ass.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Dont judge the first story until the second one catches up to it.
Time is a good storyteller.
If you dont sow in the spring you wont reap in the harvest.
He is a poor priest who has not a clerk.
The juice of a cow is good alive or dead.
