hi , today am going to continue the list of proverbs. i hope you enjoy it.
*A penny saved is a penny gained
By being thrifty one will be able to save up.
*A rolling stone gathers no moss
A person who never settles in one place or who often changes his job will not succeed in life ; one who is always changing his mind will never get anything done.

One will either enjoy or suffer the consequences of his earlier actions or inactions.
*Barking dogs seldom bite
Those who make loud threats seldom carry them out.
*Better late than never
To do something that is right, profitable, or good a little late is still better than not doing it at all.
*A bird in hand is worth two in the bush
Something that one already has is better than going after something seemingly more worthwhile that one may not be able to get.
*Birds of a feather flock together

*Call a spade a spade
If you say that someone calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak frankly and directly, often about embarrassing or unpleasant subjects; an informal expression.

A smooth and persuasive talker may be a good liar.

*All that glitters is not gold
Do not be deceived by things or offers that appear to be attractive.
*Eat to live, but do not live to eat
Man was created for a divine purpose and he has a destiny with his Creator - he was not born just to enjoy food.

Fire, like any other manmade tool or device, will serve man well only when it is controlled and used wisely.
