  1. (continued from previous page)
    Many hands make light work.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Counting the chickens before they are hatched.
    She would give you all the birds in the air if you catch them yourself.
    Put a beggar on horseback and he will ride to hell.
    It was not off the stones he licked it.
