A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush Charms strike the sight , but merit wins the soul Honesty is the best policy Hunger is the best sauce Newspaper are the wood mirror So much to do ,so little done The less men think, the more they talk The more one has , the more one wants The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat The pen is mightier than the sword The will of the people is the best law When the cat's away the mice will play
