- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A word in the court is worth a pound in your pocket.
It is better to be poor than to be a fool.
He who grabs too much loses all.
Far off hills look green.
Health is better than wealth.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Don't trust those who has two faces.
Never say time enough for time is always little enough.
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.
A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
There is no hearth like your own hearth.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
