  1. (continued from previous page)
    Take care of the pence and the pounds with take care of themselves.
    A rainbow in the morning is a Shepherd's warning
    A rainbow in the night is a shepherd's delight.
    Wealth soon melts away and cheats the miser
    A good beginning is half the work
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    A stitch in time saves nine
    The windy day is no day for thatching
    Never put off until to morrow what you can do today
    Whatever a man sows that also must he reap
    If Summer lasted until November Somebody would have his work unfinished
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
    All that glitters is not Gold
    Two heads are better than one
    A good woman is better than a good fortune
    Talk is cheap but you must pay for tobacco
    It is too late to spare when all is spent
    The old dog for the hard road
    Time and tide wait for no one
