- (continued from previous page)Necessity is the mother of invention.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Honesty is the best policy.
Rome was not built in a day.
Thistle seeds fly.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
The day of the wind is'nt the day of the scollob.
Better late than ever.
The early bird catches the worm.
It's an ill wind blows no one any good.
You can fool all the world some of the time, and some of the world all the time, but you can't fool all the world all the time.
After a storm there is always a calm.
The hills are green far away.
The darkest hour is before the dawn.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Get rich by honest means alone.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Plough deep while the sluggards sleep.
