- Long ago it was said that too many cooks spoil the broth.
Many hands make light work.
Mose haste the lest speed.
Little said is easy mended.
Never leave to another to do what you can do yourself.
Laziness is a heavy load.
Good goods in small parcels.
A wink is as good as a nod.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Better late than never.
A earnest word, is as good as a speech.
A penny spent wise is as good as a point spent foolish.
Never to late to learn.
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Do as you would be done by.
A wise son makes a glad father.
There is no feast till a rose and no torment till marriage.
One penny gets another.
Where no [?] are, the crib is clean.
An empty sack doesnt stand.
It is often a person mouth broke his nose(continues on next page)
