- All is not gold that glitters.
Hunger is good sauce.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows where the dirt lies.
Make hay while the sun shines.
It is a good horse that is able to draw his own load.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Hills are green far away.
Cows across the sea wear long horns.
Never forsake an old friend.
No one thinks the great unhappy but the great.
It is hard to get a good hook for a bad reaper.
A fool and their money is easily parted.
It is better to bend than to break.
Better late than never.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
Little said is easy mended.
To be fond of conversation is a mark of idleness.
Let every herring hang by his own tail.
The day of the wind is not the day for the scollop.
The worse luck now the better again.
It is hard to knock blood out of a stone.(continues on next page)
