    Kindle the dry sticks and the wet ones will catch.
    Never leave by for tomorrow what you can do today.
    Two heads are better than one.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    Look before you leap.
    He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    Better late than never.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    Where there's a will theres a way.
    The day of a storm is not the day for scollops.
    Marry in haste and repent at leisure.
    Penny wise pound foolish.
