  1. Proverbs Used in the District

    Share Share Post
    One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    One flower never made a garden.
    Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Look before you leap.
    Don't judge the book by its cover.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    More haste, less speed.
    A watched kettle never boils.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Its an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody fair.
    What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
