- Hills are green far away.
Dont count your chickens until they are hatched.
Hunger is good sauce.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
You should always look before you leap.
You should always think twice before you speak once.
A shut mouth makes a wise head.
Blessed are those who expect nothing: they are seldom disappointed.
A windy day is not the day for the scollop.
Nothing is more useful than silence.
Silence never betrays you.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
Sow early and you will reap early.(continues on next page)- Collector
