- (continued from previous page)One swallow never made a summer.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
A burned child dreads fire.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and keep.
Hunger is good sauce.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
The more haste the less speed.
Quarrels end in sorrow.
A light heart lives long.
Drive not the poor away.
The best is the cheapest.
Saying and doing are two things.
Better late than never.
After a storm comes a calm.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
A is not gold that glitters.
You are not to take the book by the cover.
A good thought is a great boon.
The longer you live, the more you know.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Eat your fill, and pocket none.
Truth is your sweet guiding star.
Forgiveness is nobler than revenge.
