- (continued from previous page)Plough deep while sluggers sleep
As long as the fox went he was caught at last
It’s better to be sure than sorry Short accounts make long friends Time is a great healer
Time and tide wait for no man The early bird gets the early worm Never give the old for the new
A new broom sweeps clean
It’s better to be an old man’s pet than a young man’s slave
Empty vessels make the most noise There are good goods in small parcels
A bird in your fist is worth two on the bush
Smooth water runs deep
Laugh and the world laughs with you.
Weep and you will weep alone Where there’s a will there’s a way Don’t spoil the ship for a ha’porth of tar
Wilful waste makes woeful want
A stitch in time saves nine
One natural tooth is worth twenty false ones(continues on next page)
