- A new (brow) broom sweeps clean.
Far away hills look green.
Hunger is a good sauce.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
The bigger the rogue the more genteel.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It is a long lane but there is a turn on
A constant drop will wear a hole in a stone.
Never put back till tomorrow what you can do today.
The more the merrier.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
Bought is dear wit.
Don't buy a pig in a poke.
When the old cock crows the young one learns.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
The fox runs long but is caught at last.
The nearer the church the farther from God.
The more haste the less speed.(continues on next page)
