- A wise man brings his coat on a fine day
It is a long lane that has no turn
A slow fire makes sweet malt
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
A stitch in time saves nine
There is no place like home
Make hay while the sun shines
Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day
Have it yourself or be without it
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
An early bird catches the worm
The early worm meets his death
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise
For the want of a nail the shoe was lost
It is never too late to mend(continues on next page)- Collector
