- Fair and easy goes far in a day.
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
He buys very dear who begs.
It's a long lane that hasn't a turn.
One good turn deserves another.
Enough is as good as a feast.
It's far off what God sends.
It's a bad wind that doesn't blow fair for someone.
Honesty is the best policy.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Diet cures more than the doctor.
Between two stools you come to the ground.
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.(continues on next page)
