    valued most.
    Fair without or foul within polished shoe and dirty skin.
    Ignorance must be excused but where it is must be used.
    Saturday's wash for Sunday's dash.
    Least said soonest mended.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    A watched pot never boils.
    A stitich in time saves nine.
    Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise.
    Many hands make light work.
    The early bird catches the worm.
