- These are some old sayings I have heard
As white as snow
As black as soot
As red as blood
As green as grass
As cold as ice
As warm as a coal
You pulled a rod to whip yourself
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Let every cobbler stick to his last
Jack of all trades, master of none
Many ventures makes a full freight
To kill two birds with one stone
Too many cooks spoil the broth
All is not gold that glitters
No news is good news
As merry as a wedding bell
Don't take the book by the cover
Far off hills look green
To fireside like ones own
Never a jack but there was a jinny
He that cannot bear a jest should not make one
A silent tongue makes a wise head
Glory is like a circle in the water
