Proverbs [duchas:4647258]

Charity begins at home.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
No place like home.
A new broom sweeps clean but an old one scrapes better.
Cows far away wear long horns.
One good turn deserves another.
An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Never venture, never win.
Slow and sure goes far in a day.
Shutting the stable door when the horse is stolen.
The lazy man's load.
Every one thinks his own goose a swan.
Silence is golden.
Its a bad dog that's not worth whistling for.
