- (continued from previous page)An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Half an hour too soon is better than a minute too late.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Lost time is never found again.
Look before you leap.
A stitch in time saves nine.
We know the worth of water, when the well is dry.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Friday wet - Sunday wet.
Saturday's wash for Sunday's dash.
A wet May and a dry June, make the farmer sing a merry tune.
A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay.
March winds and May sun, make clothes white, and maids dun.
Don't change a clout 'till May is out, don't change a thread 'till May has fled.
April - May keep out of the sea, June - July stay in 'till you die.(continues on next page)
