- (continued from previous page)Waste not - want not.
He that has, gets.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Rome was not built in a day.
As deep as the sea.
"Grudge a person the light of day"
As handy as a skillet.
"There's no need
To plant weeds."
Weeds grow apace.
One swallow does not make a Summer.
As greedy as death.
Good management is better than hard work.
It's not all the big men who cut the harvest.
"If you're not strong
You must be cute."
"The nearer the church, the farther from God."
