- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A word in a court is worth a pound in the purse.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Rise with the lark and with him to bed.
When the cat is out the mouse can dance.
Health is better than wealth.
Never judge a book by its cover.
The work praises the man.
The early bird catches the worm.
All is not gold that glitters.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Have a thing yourself or be without it.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Two many cooks spoil the broth.(continues on next page)
