- Proverbs
1 A rolling stone gathers no moss.
2 Everything that glitters isn't gold.
3 You can't judge a book by the cover.
4 You can't make a silver purse out of a pig's ear.
5 It's too late to spair when all is spent.
6 Say little and say well.
7 Enough is as good as a feast.
8 You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
9 Ask and you shall receive.
10 Constant dropping wears a stone.
11 Keep a thing vits [?] for seven years its use will come.
12 Dont count the chickens before they are hatched.(continues on next page)
