    1 As the old cock crows the young cock learns.
    2 Empty vessels make most noise.
    3 A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    4 Smooth waters run deep.
    5 A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    6 The idle man tempts the devil.
    7 Faraway cows wear long horns.
    8 Never take the book by the cover.
    9 A stitch in time saves nine.
    10 Every old stocking finds an old shoe.
