    Folklore Proverbs
    Proverbs
    Time and patience brought the snail to Jerusalem
    A stitch in time saves nine
    There are good things in small parcels
    You can never judge a book by its cover you have to read the inside
    One apple in your hand is worth two on the tree
    Look before you leap.
    Empty vessels make the most sound.
