- Wise SayingsA stitch in time saves nine.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Laugh and the world will laugh with you.
Less talk and more work.
Look before you leap. Slow but sure.
Better late than never
It's a bad wind that does not favour some one.
The longer you live the more you know.
The longest way round is the nearest way home.
A half of a loaf is better than no bread.
A cat in gloves catches no mice.
Never spare the sight's share for the morning.
Never throw out the dirty water until you bring in the clean water.
Dont judge the book by the cover.
A fool and his money parts.
A watched pot never boils.
Dont count the chickens until they come out.
Put not all your eggs into one basket.
Hills are green far away.
The more hurry the lest speed.- Collector
