- A wet and a windy May fills the haggard with corn and hay.
Far away cows wear long horns.
When the cat is out the mouse can play.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
As firm as a lobster's grip.
A burned child dreads the fire.
An ounce of March dust is worth a king's ransom.
Live horse and you will get grass.
A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
The early bird catches the worm.
The worst cow in the bawn bawls first.
As wild as a March hare.- Collector
