- No 1 A rolling stone gathers no moss.
2 It's a long lane that has no turning.
3 The long way round is the short way home
4 As the old cock crows the young cock learns.
5 Time is the best Author
6.Thinking is bad wit
7.Never choose a book by its cover.
8 One swallow makes no Summer.
9. Blood is thicker than water.
10 Wilful waste makes woful want.
11 Its hard to kill a bad thing.
12.Its better to be merry than sad.
13 Its better to be sure than sorry.
14 An idle man tempts the Devil
15 A light footed Mother makes a slow footed daughter,
16. Look before you leap.
17 A stitch in time saves nine
18. What is bred in the blood breaks out in the bone
19 A drowning will grasp at a straw
20 Charity begins at home
21 The early bird gets the early worm.
22 Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep all alone.
