Perverbs

Folks,

good to see you all last night. Just to get you started on your perverbs, here are a few that occurred to me. Any other suggestions in the comments box...?

PS, just found this list of proverbs. Or, for the patriotic, this list of already surreal Irish proverbs.

In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Empty vessels make most noise
Clean meat never fattened a pig
The devil makes work for idle hands
When in Rome, do as the Romans
It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good
Every cloud has a silver lining
A stitch in time saves nine
Two heads are better than one
Every dog has its day
Marry in haste, repent at leisure
The apple never falls far from the tree
Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Feed a cold and starve a fever
Blood is thicker than water
Cold hands, warm heart
Least said, soonest mended
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Half a loaf is better than no bread
Too many cooks spoil the broth
