- Great minds think alike
Big bodies move slowly
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
A lie has no legs.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
You cannot make a racehorse out of an ass
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear
A stitch in time saves nine.
You cannot get blood out of a turnip
Birds of a feather flock together
Two heads are better than one.
A half a loaf is better than none
One swallow does not make a Summer
Far away cows have long horns
Far away hills look green
Unity is strength
A fool and his money soon part
It is too late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen
As is the schoolmaster so is the school
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves
When your neighbours house is i fire, take care of your own
A man that lives on hopes will die in despair
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
One good turn deserves another
All men as brothers is better than gold(continues on next page)
