- A stitch in time saves nine
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The cutest hen may lay out but her egg is found at last.
Hunger is best sauce.
When the tree is down everyone rushes to it with a hatchet.
Birds of feather flock together.
All that glitters is not gold.
Hills are green far away
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
A light heeled mother makes a heavy heeled daughter
New broom sweeps clean.
To many cooks spoil the broth.
Fine feathers make fine birds
If health were a thing that money could buy the rich would live and the poor would die.
Beg of a beggar and you will never be rich.
