- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A wise man always carries his coat.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A stitch in time saves nine.
It is a long road that has no turn.
Many hands make light work.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
It is nevr too late to mend.
There is a slippy stone at every gentlemans door.
Never meet trouble half way.
A watched kettle is long a ' boiling
There is no use barring the door when the horse is gone.
Willful waste makes woeful want.
You never miss the water to the well runs dry.
There is no use of crying over spilt milk.(continues on next page)
