    (continued from previous page)
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    Strike the iron while it is hot.
    Practice makes perfect.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    Nothing venture nothing win.
    Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves.
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Whatever is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
    Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves
    It is a poor hen that is not able to scrape for one chick.
    Speaking without thinking is like shooting without taking aim.
    An evening red and a morning grey, you're sure to have a very fine day.
    An evening grey and a morning red, put on your hat or you'll wet your head.
