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
