- 11ProverbsMany hands make light work.
Too many Cooks spoil the broth.
Good goods in small parcels.
Never buy a pig in a bag.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
It is too late to lock the stable door when the horse has got out.
A stitch in time saves nine.
By mistakes we learn.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Never take the book by the cover.
All that glitters is not gold.
It is never too late to mend.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Necessity knows no law.
Necessity is the master of Invention.
Put a beggar on horse back and he will ride to the d
The nearer the Church, the farther from God.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Far away cows wear long horns.
