Better late than never.
The more hurry the less speed
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good.
Many hands make light work
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
A hand burning and a hand saving.
A watched kettle never boils.
God gives meat and the devil gives cooks.
Kill two birds with one stone.
- A good run is better than a bad stand
Speech is silver silence is gold
People in glass houses should not throw stones
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Poverty is no crime
A light heart lives long
The more we do the more we can do
Willful waste makes woeful want
Actions speak louder than words(continues on next page) - Collector
