- A stitch in time saves nine.
Health is better than wealth.
Too late to spare when all is spent.
Keep good company or none.
Earn money before you spend it.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
April showers bring May flowers.
The juice of a cow is good, alive or dead.
There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage.
Your pocket is your friend.
The person is the clothes.
A little tastes sweet.
Your son is your son today, but your daughter is your daughter for ever.
Dead with tea and dead without it.
Be afraid and there is danger for you.
A story without an author is not worth anything.
Don't be hard, don't be soft and don't desert your friend for your own share.
Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
Think twice before you speak.
Plough deep while the sluggard sleeps.
One sorrow never comes alone.
What you never had you never lost.
A grain of prudence is worth a pound of craft.(continues on next page)
