- "When the rain is gone the sun shines."
Have it yourself or be without it.
There is no fireplace like your own.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
A word in court is better than a pound in your purse
A stitch in time saves nine.
After a storm comes a calm.
Foreign cows have long horns.
The old dog for the long road & the pup for the ashes.- Collector

- 'Tis too late to spare when all is spent.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A fool & his money are soon parted.
The day the wind blows is not the day for thatching.
Never leave off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
One good turn deserves another.
Better late than never.
If the hat suits you wear it.
It is not the horse that earns the oats always gets it.
A new broom sweeps clean.- Collector
