- Fine feathrs make fine birds.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Love is blind.
Fools rush in where angels fear to thread.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Good work deserves good wages. Empty vessels make most sound. A rolling stones gathers no moss. All that glitters is not gold.
Be not weary in well doing. Its along lane that there's no turn in? Long churning makes dirty butter? A stitch in time saves nine? When it rains it pours? The long road is the short cut? Silk and satin often put out the kitchen fire? Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast? He who slings mud is loosing ground?
