- An empty bag cannot stand.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Live, old horse, and you'll get grass.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Far away fields look green.
Far away cows have long horns.
All that glitters is not gold.
- It is better to be born lucky than rich.
Good luck beats early rising.
Silent water runs deep
Actions speak louder than words.
There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
It is a bad war that all are slain.
Many a good cat reared a bad kitten.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A sovereign is smaller than a penny.
Small strokes cut great oaks.
Many a wee woman made a good housekeeper.(continues on next page) - Collector
