    grass
    Never take the book by the cover
    All that glitters is not gold
    The proof of the pudding is in the the eating
    Beauty never boiled the pot
    Better late than never
    The day of the wind is not the day of the scallops
    If you cut thistles in June you will cut them again soon
    A shut mouth catches no flies
    Never cast a clout till May goes out
    Cuckoo oats and cuckoo hay make the farmers all fly away
