Here are some of them :-
Fine feathers make fine birds,
A rolling stone gathers no moss,
A good beginning is half the work,
A stitch in time saves nine,
Two heads are better than one,
Empthy vessels make the most sound, A little tastes sweet,
Where there is a will there is a way,
One good turn deserves another,
Many hands make light work. - A stitch in time saves nine.Rome was not built in a day.It is no use crying over spilt milk.Never leave what you can do today till tomorrow.Rolling stones gather no moss.Many a slip between the cup and the lip.(continues on next page)
