- Nature breaks out through the eyes of the cat.
For his own good the cat mews.
Rome wasn't built built in a day.
Far away cows wear long horns.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.
Speech is silver: silence is golden.
Shallow brooks are noisy.
Age is honourable, youth is valuable.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
A fool and his money soon part.
The darkest hour is the hour before dawn.
A friend in court is better than a pound in your purse.
All is not gold that glitters.
Discretion is the better part of valour.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
An idle mind is the devil's workshop.
Suspicion haunts the guilty mind.
Large oaks from small acorns grow.
Honesty is the best policy.
Good looks are worth nothing without good sense.
Health is greater than wealth.
Every cloud has a silver lining.(continues on next page)
