   (continued from previous page)

   Its no use looking for a needle in a hay-stack.
   Time or tide wait for no man.
   Practice what you preach.
   Look before you leap.
   It's not all gold that glitters.
   The early bird catches the worm.
   Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
   Make hay while the sun shines.
   Never put good wine into old bottles.
   Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
   The more haste the less speed.
   It's no use crying over spilt milk.
   Still waters run deep.
   It's a long road that has no ending.
   A stitch in time saves nine.
   No news is good news.
   Practice makes perfect.
   Too many cooks spoil the broth.
   Many hands make light work.
   Strike the iron while it's hot.
   Never put off till to morrow what you can do to-day.
