  1. Many a mickle makes a muckle.
    A man who has a goose gets a goose.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    The old dog for the hard road and the put for the path.
    You can't eat your cake and have it
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
    It's no use crying over spilt milk.
    A watched pot never boils
    Two wrongs won't make a right.
    If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Look before you leap.
    Tell me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
    More haste less speed.
    Your can't catch old birds with chaff.
    Pride goes before a fall.
    Cut your coat according to your cloth.
    Better late than never.
    You can't judge the book by the cover.
    You can't whistle and chew meat.
