- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,
What you can do today don't leave until tomorrow,
Set a thief to catch a thief,
If you don't sow in the Spring you won't reap in the harvest,
Live ass and you will get grass,.
If the cat was churning it is often she would have her paws in it,
When the goat goes to the door of the chapel she will not stop until she goes to the altar.
It is an ill wind that does not blow someone good-
Look after the pence and the pounds will look after them-(continues on next page)
