- (continued from previous page)What is easily got is easily lost.
A new broom sweeps clean, and the old one stays in the corner.
There is no place like home.
A small bee makes a cow gad.
Many hands make light work.
I' ve a crow to pick with you.
A penny wise is a pound foolish.
The head is not worth the washing.
Early to bed, early to rise, is the way to be healthy,wealthy and wise.
Between two stools you come to the ground.
Little pitchers have small ears.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
A day older and a day worse.
Tell me your company and i'll tell you who you are.
If the cap fits wear it.
Between the devil and the deep sea.
A hair out of the dog that bit you
If you get an inch to take a yard.
A little said is easy mended.
