  1. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    It's never too late to mend.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    People in glass houses should not throw stones.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    It is the heart and not the coat that makes an honest man.
    A wise father makes a wise son.
    A new broom sweeps well.
