- Proverbs and Sayings.
All work and no play makes George a dull boy.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Share the rod and spoil the child.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Smooth water runs deep.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A wise son makes a glad father.
Early in bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wise.
Get what you can get, and what you get hold, this is like stone that turns lead into gold.
It's a bad dog that isn't whistling for.
Late to bed, and late to rise, makes a man beg before he dies.
Keep the shop and the shop will keep you.
When poverty comes in on like window, love flied out on like doors.(continues on next page)
