- (continued from previous page)Many hands make work light.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Youth will have its fling.
A full pig in the sty doesn't feel for the hungry pig passing by.
To lend is human, to pay back Divine.
It is a long road that has no public house.
Every day is a day nearer the grave.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Good luck is better than early rising.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Praise a fair - day at night.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Good health is better than wealth.
The longer you live the more you know.
Two heads are wiser than one.
What happens is best.
Strike the iron while it's red.
Work while it's day, for night comes.
To have shelter in the Storm, prepare in the sunshine.
As dead as a door - nail.
It's a bad wind which doesn't blow somebody good.
It is an old fiddle that has a sweet tune
He who goes a-borrowing, goes a-sorrowing.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.(continues on next page)
