- Many hands make light work.
Rome was not built in a day.
A stitch in time save nine.
Look before you leap.
A peck of March dust is work a king's ransom.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
We must think before we act.
It is better to be sure then be sorry.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
Don't take the book by the cover.
It's never too late to mend.
Time nor tide waits for no man.
Have it yourself or be without it.
Once down no battle.
Far away cows wear long horns.
Like Mother like daughter.
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day
There is no place like home.
A man without learning and wearing fine clothes is like a gold ring in a guinea pig's nose.(continues on next page)- Collector
