    (continued from previous page)
    A new brush sweeps clean.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    It is a long road that has no turning.
    Cows from over the sea have long horns
    Hunger is good sauce
    A blind man is a bad judge of colours.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    Milk is better for you than tea.
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird
    An empty sack does not stand.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    No hand is higher than the hand of God
