  1. Sayings
    Those in glass houses, should never throw stones.
    The cure is as bad as the disease.
    There are good goods in small parcels, bad weeds grow tall.
    Keep what you have, until you get what you want.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    It's an ill wind that doesn't favour someone.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    One beetle finds another out.
    Children and fools shouldn't play with edged tools.
