- A new broom sweeps clean.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Far away cows wear long horns.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Constant dropping can wear a rock.
The more hurry the less speed.
A watched pot never boils.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Your best friend is your pocket.
Birds of a feather flock together
The raven thinks her own children the fairest.
- The longest way round is the shortest way home.
It is not a bad wind but it blows fair for someone.
All a chip of the one block.
Six of one and half a dozen of another.
There is no use crying over spilt milk.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
There is no place like home.
Two heads are better than one.(continues on next page) - Collector
