A new broom sweeps clean.
There is no help or cure against death.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Work is better than talk.
The early bird catches the early worm.
Don't make a rule and don't break a rule.
Time is a good storyteller.
One penny gets another.
Your pocket is your friend.
A little tastes sweet.
A good word never broke a person's mouth.
God made the back for the burden.
Hunger is a good sauce.
The truth never choked a man.
An empty sack doesn't stand.
Cows from over the sea have long horns.
People meet but the hills never meet.
A good beginning is half way in the work.
Milk is better than tea.
Patience is a virtue.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy ,wealthy and wise.
Tis the making of the game the making of the game.
If you want to know one go and live with him.(continues on next page)
