   A rolling stone gathers no moss. An ill wind blows nobody good. A friend in need is a nuisance. A stitch in time saves nine. All is not gold that glitters. Early to bed and early to rise makes us healthy, wealthy and wise. The arly bird catches the worm. There are none so blind as those who cannot see. A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush. 'Try again' is a very great maxim. He who hides, finds. Spare the rod and spoil the child.
