    Here are the best proverbs I know :
    A good beginning is half the work.
    Bachelors' wives and maidens' children
    are always well trained.
    Unless you strive you can not succeed.
    A windy day is a bad day for thatching.
    It's better to wear our shoes than sheets.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you,
    cry an you cry alone.
    Bad workmen always find fault with their tools.
    Speak correctly if you speak at all.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
