- Proverbs
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Make hay while the sun shines
Too many cooks spiles the broth
Waste not, want not
Never put off until tomorrow that which you can do today
Look before you leap
Half a loaf is better than no bread
Practise make perfect
Least said easiest mended
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
What the eye does not see the heart does not grieve
Loud barkers seldom bite
Wilful waste makes woeful want
Empty barrels make most sound
Be just before your generous
A wise man carries his coat on a fine day
It is ill wind that does not blow good to someone
All is not gold that glitters
Honesty is the best policy
It is a long road has no turns
It is a bad dog that is worth whistling for
The more hast the least speed
One good turn deserves another
He who laughs least laughs last
Don't shout until your out of the woods.
