  2. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Where there's a will there's a way.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    What is worth doing is worth doing well.
    If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
    If if's and and's were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinker's hands.
    Good habit's are as easily formed as bad ones
    One should think all they say, but should not say all they think.
