of Proverbs
.A bargain is a bargain
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A bully is always a coward
A hungry belly has no ears

Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow
Better be alone than in bad company
Caution is the parent of safety
Creditors have better memories than debtors
Good counsel does no harm
He that knows nothing doubts nothing
Honesty is the better policy
Idle folks lack no excuses
two heads are better than one
two wrongs don’t make it right

You made your bed, now lie in it
you can’t see the three for the forest
The more things change, the more they remain the same
Man proposes but God disposes
