- (continued from previous page)A new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows the corners.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Many hands make light work.
Great minds think a like.
Two heads are better than one.
The longer you live the more you know.
One trouble never comes alone
The more hurry the less speed.
As black as the ace of spades
As yellow as a kite's claw.
As long as a late breakfast
As red as a tomato.
As red is a turkey's head
As proud as a peacock
As weak as a straw.
As weak as water.
As slow as a snail.
As slow as an ass.(continues on next page)- Collector
