- Still water runs deep
Blood is thicker than water
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Manners begin at the hearthstone
What is bred in the bone comes out in the flesh
Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat
A stitch in time saves nine
A burnt cat dreads the fire
On his own saddle one rides safest
One good turn deserves another
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
Old birds are not caught with chaff
Do not count the chickens before they come out
Tall trees most dread the thunder
When two quarrel both are to blame
Cool before you sip
Plough deep when sluggard sleep
Many hands make light work(continues on next page)
