- Old Proverbs
Every old shoe meets an old stocking.
Birds of feather flock together.
Out of sight out of mind.
Never throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water in.
The best hurdlers are always on the ditch.
"If" was never in the beginning of a true story.
There is no joy without sorrow, and no sorrow without pain.
It is bad to spur a free horse.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The least said the easiest mended.
When you have your hand in the dogs mouth, draw it easy.
Tis hard to break an old dog off his trot.
Look before you leap.
A new broom sweeps clean.
