- Think twice before you speak once.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Look before you leap.
Make the hay while the sun shines.
Hear much but say little.
Green are the hills far away.
Better be sure than sorry.
One look before you is better than two looks behind.
Let the people mind what the old people say; when danger is near keep out of the way.
God is nearer than the door.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scallops.
Never leave what you can do today until tomorrow.
