    (continued from previous page)
    A man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Man hands make light work.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    It's a long lane that has no turning.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Two heads are better than one.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.

  2. Proverbs

    A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    The far away fields are green.
    Two heads are better than one.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to day.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A shut mouth makes a wise head.
    Nothing beats a trial, but a goal.
