  1. (continued from previous page)
    Where there's a will there's a way.
    Its easy to walk in the right way if your head is screwed on the right way.
    Out of sight out of mind.
    Two many cooks spoil the broth.
    No one knows so well whether the shoe pinches as he who wears it.
    What the heart thinks the mouth speaks.
    Ill gotten wealth never prospers.
    If common sense rules from your head to your foot you never can go astray.
    Experience makes a man wise.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    Poverty is no disgrace.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    A little pot is soon hot.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    Misfortunes never come alone.
    Show me your company and I will tell you what you are.
    Shut mouth makes a wise head.
