I had to use these last thirteen. My students are eagerly awaiting their guesses in print. (Once again, the real proverbs are at the bottom. Just in case you are shaky on your axioms.) See earlier lists of proverbs here and here.
Thursday Thirteen
1. The first step is...
... before the second step
... before the second step
2. The way to a man's heart is...
...surgery
3. Too many chiefs...
... equals a war
4. One swallow does not...
... fill you up.
5. It takes two...
...to play a three-legged race
6. There's more than one way to...eat chicken
7. The spirit is willing... but the mind is asleep.
8. Misery loves...coffee
(True for me, anyway)
9. Don't judge a man until .........you know how much money he makes. (I'm not sure I'd want my son to date the little girl who said this.)
10. The best things in life are... chocolate
11. Don't bite the hand...of someone who will bite back
12. Nothing hurts like..... the dickens
13. The Pen is mightier... than the pencil.
(I'm not sure why, but fully one third of the students responded with this guess.)
