    (continued from previous page)
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    A fool and his money is easy parted.
    A new broom sweeps well but the old one knows the corners best.
    Dont crow till you are out of the wood.
    The early bird catches the worm
    A sleeping fox catches no poultry.
    Dont count your chicken before they are hatched
    Better good deed than good intentions
    If you lie down with dogs you will rise with fleas
    Every crow thinks her own bird the wisest
    The eye of a master can do
