There's many a way of killing a cat besides choking him with butter.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
It's better be lonesome than hungry.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A bite of a rabbit is better than two of a cat.
Wilful waste brings woeful want.
It's a long road that has no end.
You can't be eating meal and whistling at the same time.
Hunger is good sauce.
The help of God is nearer than the door.
The person you know is better than the person you don't know.
Enough is as good as a feast.
A friend in need is a friend in deed.
It's no use going to the goat's house to look for wool.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Where the cat gets milk she will draw again.
Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
