- A wise man carries his coat.
When the cat's away the mice can play.
Handsome is as handsome does.
Doing a deed is like sowing a seed.
There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.
Those who try to please everyone often end by pleasing no-one.
A word at the right time often saves serious trouble.
Those who are cruel to others do not like to be treated in the same way themselves.
If not done just at the right time it will be forever out of season.
One good turn deserves another.
Use often overcomes dread.
Those who are too greedy often end by getting nothing.
Always look before you leap.
Beauty won't make the pot boil.
He that spareth the rod hateth his child.
Pride often gets a fall.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.(continues on next page)- Collector
