- A stitch in time saves nine.
Better late than ever.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
It is never too late to learn.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
Birds of one feather flock together.
One fool makes many.
The cure is as bad as the disease.
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
After a storm comes a calm.
One look before you is better than two looks after you.
Rome was not built in a day.
Inquisitive people are never made wise.
Save the pence and the pounds will mind themselves.
The first and second go alike and the third takes the bite.
The early bird catches the worm.
A watched kettle never boils.
Mind your shop and your shop will mind you.
God helps those who help themselves.
Experience teachs fools.
Youth is the time to learn.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
Time will tell.
Practise makes perfect.
Courage is half the battle.(continues on next page)
