- A rolling stone gathers no moss.
It's not the day of the wind the day of the scollops.
Fine feathers made fine birds.
Live horse and you'll get grass.
There was a man who had not saved any hay in the summer and his horse was starving with hunger. The man went into the stable in the winter and he said "Live horse and you'll get grass".
A stitch in time saves nine.
Manners maketh man.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Make hay while the sun shines.
A barking dog won't bite.
All is not gold that glitters.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A hard gathering gets a wide scattering.
A roving man never gets rich.
The hills are green far away.
Cows across the water have long horns.
A weak string looses hold.(continues on next page)
