- Time and tide will wait for nobody.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
All is well that ends well.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It's an ill will blows nobody any good
A stitch in time saves nine.
He who steals a pin would steal a greater thing
the hills are green far away.
For age and want save while you make a morning sun never lasts the whole day.
A cat of your age will not play with a wisp.
Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
A windy day is not the day for thatching.
For want of the nail the shoe was lost for want of a shoe the hourse was lost for want of the horse the rider was lost all for the want of a horse shoe nail.
Empty vessels make the most sound.
All is not gold that glitters.
He that goes "a borrowing" goes "a sorrowing."
Smooth water runs deep.
Its a long road there is not a turn in.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.(continues on next page)
