  1. Proverbs

    I heard the following proverbs from my father.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    An early bird catches the worm.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    What the eye does not see, the heart does not grieve for.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Better late than never.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
