    "proverbs used Locally"
    An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
    A stich in time saves nine.
    The help of God is nearer than the door.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    The longest way round is the nearest way home.
    Half an hour too soon is better than a half a minute too late.
    A straight tree may have crooked roots.
