  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    When the cat is put the mouse can play.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    A little pot is soon hot,
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    As busy as a hen at a bag of oats.
    As busy as a liar in company.
    A wet and windy May fills the haggard with corn and hay.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Quality is better than quantity.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    Too many cooks spoil the soup.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    You will never miss the water until the well goes dry.
