  1. A hungry eye see's far.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    If you don't saw in Spring, you wo't reap in Autumn.
    Judge nothing by appearences alone.
    Never put back till tomorrow, what you can do today.
    One day in the country is worth a month in the town.
    God's help is nearer than the door.
    Never count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Its too late to close the stable door when the horse is gone.
    Catch the bear before you sell his skin.
    Everyone for himself and God for us all.
    Look before you leap.
    Charity begins at home but never ends there.
