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.
