- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
All is not gold that glitters.
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
Come day go day God send Sunday.
If things were done twice all would be wise.
Rome was not built in a day.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A little help is worth a deal of pity.
One good turn deserves another.
A doctor in times saves a life.
Buy dear sell cheap and you'll make a mess of your business.
Bigger standing like a dog sitting.
No one good, No not one.
Come up go round and sit down.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Have your own or do without it.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.(continues on next page)
