    (continued from previous page)
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Curiousity killed the cat.
    It is not all gold that glitters.
    Never judge a book by its cover.
    Don't put your spoon where there's no stir-about.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Don't start talking about the chickens before they are hatched.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    The nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
    Gentle words fall lightly, but they have geat weight.
