    Proverbs
    Work is better than talk.
    Your pocket is your friend
    Fine feathers make fine birds
    It is lonely to be empty
    A new brush sweeps clean
    AN empty sack doesn't stand
    One penny gets another
    The time and tide, they wait for no one
    The truth is often bitter
    It is difficult to cut wool off a goat
    He found a mare's nest
    Cows from over the sea have long horns
    Throwing apples into an orchard
