  1. (continued from previous page)
    Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    A fool and his money are soon parted.
    Out of sight, out of mind.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Least said soonest mended.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Set a thief to catch a thief.
    Where there is a will, there is a way.
    Don't cross a bridge till you come to it.
    Practice makes perfect.
    Waste not, want not.
    Second thoughts are best.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A shoemaker must stick to his last.
    If the cap fits, wear it.
