    A new brush sweeps clean.
    One penny gets another.
    If the cap suits you wear it.
    Your pocket is your friend.
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
    A little tastes sweet.
    It is a bad wind that does not blow good to someone.
    Fools live but learn not.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    The world would not make a race- horse of a donkey.
    You could not make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
    A thing that is got easily is spent easily.
    One beetle knows another.
    Work is better than talk.
    Pride will have a fall.
    Give thy mind no tongue.
