- A stitch in time saves nine.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
It is too late to lock the stable door when the horse is stolen.
People that live in glass houses should not throw stones.
You never know the want of water till the well goes dry.
All that glitters is not gold.
Every good boy deserves favour.
It's a long lane that has no turning.
It is better to wear out shoes than sheets.
A bird in a hand is worth two in the bush.
One year's seeding is nine years weeding.
Look before you leap.
They that go a borrowing go a sorrowing.
Children and fools should not handle edged tools.
A straw best shows how the wind blows.
A glutton lived to eat and a wise man eats to live.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Keep your shop and your shape will keep you.
