Proverbs  [duchas:5006168]

Empty vessels make most sound.
There is no use shutting the stable door when the horse is gone out.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Many hands make light work.
Cows across the sea have long horns
A stitch in time saves nine.
All that glitters is not gold.
People that live in glass houses should not throw stones
Look before you leap.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.

Proverbs  [duchas:5006169]

164

Never judge a book by its cover.
All light tasks were hard at first.
Jests misplaced make hearers frown.
April showers bring forth May flowers.
Birds of a feather flock together.

Name :  George Lett.
