2. A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead.

This one isn't changed but I just love it!
3. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.

Sometimes things like that are correct. But i don't think you can do that with, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". if you did it would sound like, "A bird in the hand is silent whereas the birds in the bush make music."
