  1. (continued from previous page)
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Well begun, is half the work.
    What’s worth doing at all, is worth doing well.
    A dirty grate makes the dinner late.
    Try and try again and you will succeed at last.
    Sence does not come with age.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today.
    Never too late to mend.
    Save the hay while the sun shines.
    Nature breaks through the eyes of a cat.
    Courage is half the battle.
    Time and tide waits for nobody.
    One story is good until another is told.
    Truth is stranger than fiction.
    Buy a dear thing and you will have a cheap thing.
    Fridays fitting leaves a short sitting.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    He is a good horse that is able to carry his own oats.
