  1. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A new broom sweeps clean
    Mind the shillings and the pounds will mind themselves.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Early to bed and early to rise the way to be healthy, wealthy and wise.
    A bird in the hand is worth two on a bush.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    Listen to the sound of the river and you will catch fish.
