    (continued from previous page)
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    When poverty comes in the door, love flies out the window.
    Would you learn you granny to suck eggs.
    The cleverest hen lays out.
    You put your foot in it.
    Beauty never made the pot boil.
    She's no kitten.
    A straw shows how the wind blows.
    He gave it with a heart and a half.
    Its too good to be true.
    One swallow never made a summer.
    The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
    That cup of tea would warm the cockles of your heart.
