  1. There are many proverbs now. There is one proverb which is often said. It is "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".
    "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" is another proverb. Some people when they do a thing wrong can't do it over again. They often says "It's no good in crying over spilt milk."
