   Many hands make light work
   The help of God is nearer than the door
   A rolling stone gathers no moss
   Rome was not built in a day
   A stitch in time saves nine
   The mill cannot grind with waters that are past
   Better late than never
   Good land grows thistles
   Three removes are as bad as a fire
   A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
   Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof
   First come, first served
   Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
   It is hard for an empty bag to stand up straight
   Too late to spare when all is spent
   Too late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen
   He who rises late must trot all day
   Constant dripping wears the stone
   The early bird catches the early worm
   It is bad to be bad and poor tomorrow
   Empty vessels make the most sound
