   A closed mouth catches no flies.
   5. Saturdays moon comes seven years too soon.
   You should never take the book by the cover.
   "You should never throw out the dirty water
   Until you bring the clean water in."

   6. A wink is as good as a not to a blind horse. Six of one and half a dozen of another. Out of the frying pan into the fire. Birds of a feather flock to-gether. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. It is a hard door that does not keep out some of the wind. Talk of the devil and he'll appear. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. Half a loaf is better than no bread. Times flies and death approaches. 7. Thinking is far from knowing. Every crow thinks her own bird the fairest. Do not Spur a free horse. New brooms sweep clean. Still water runs deep. A penny wise and a pound foolish. Old sayings are true sayings.
