- Blood is thicker than water.
Hills are green far away.
You cannot put the hare out of the bush when she's not in it.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Die dog or eat the hatchet.
It is an ill wind that does not bring somebody good.
Live horse and you will get grass.
True love never runs smooth.
Practice makes perfect.
Doctors differ and patients die.
Softs words often serve in a hard argument.
Still water run deep.
Don't put new wine in old jars.
Its a long road theres no turn on.
A cat may look at a king.
Soft winds blow hard.
Sense never comes before age.
No matter how long the day is night comes.
The early bird catches the worm.
Knowledge is no load for any person.
Hunger is good sauce.(continues on next page)
