    "It is never late till twelve and it is early after
    Happy is the bride the sun shines om,
    happy is the corpse that the rain falls on."
    "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".
    "It is never too late to mend".
    "Better late than never".

    "He that by the plough would thrice,
    Himself must either hold or drive."

    But little boats should keep near shore."
    When it rains it pours."
