- (continued from previous page)A closed mouth catches no flies.
Paper never refused ink
Beg from a begger and you never will be rich
A wilful waste makes a woeful want. - One man may lead a horse to the river but twenty wouldn't make him drink
A rolling stone gather's no moss
Birds of a feather flock together.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
A stitch in time saves nine.
The slow hound is often the lucky one.
Make the hay while the sun shines.
A person's mouth often broke his nose.
It is a good horse that is able to bring his own load.
A shut mouth catches no flies.(continues on next page)- Collector
