   Still water runs deep.
   A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
   Plough deep while sluggard's sleep.
   Home sweet home there is no place like home.
   A stitch in time saves nine
   Old birds are not caught with chaff
   Many hands make light work.
   When two quarrel both are to blame
   On his own saddle one rides safest
   One good turn deserves another
   A burnt cat dreads the fire
   Swift horses are not late
   Tall trees most dread the thunder.
   What is bred in the bone comes out in the flesh.
   Do not count the chickens before they come out
   The odd moments are the gold dust of life
   A good thing is worth waiting for
   Spare the rod and spoil the child
