"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
"Plough deep while sluggards sleep."
"If you will not sow you till not reap."
"Make hay while the sun shines"
"Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you."
"Early to bed and early to use makes a man healthy wealthy and wise."
"Late to bed, late to rise makes a man weary all the days of his life."
"The early bird catches the worm"
"A stitch in time saves nine."
"Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise."
"Never spur a galloping horse."
"Marry in haste and repent at leisure"
"A word in the court is worth a pound in the purse."
