I remember some proverbs from my school days. Something like....
Too many cooks gather no moss.
A bird in the hand spoils the broth.
A rolling stone is worth two in the bush.

Never could understand 'em.

People in glass houses shouldn't . . . run around naked.

Better to be safe than... punch a 5th grader.

Don't put off tomorrow what... you put on to go to bed.

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and... you have to blow your nose.

None are so blind as... Helen Keller.
