- (continued from previous page)Smooth water runs deep.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Better late than never.
Two heads are wiser than one.
It is not the time to spare when all is spent.
Take the world easy and it will come easy to you.
Candlemas day throw half the candle away.
St. Patrick's day throw candle and candle stick away.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
All the months of the year curse a fair February.
Candlemas day bright and clear two winters in that year.
Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
