- (continued from previous page)Saturday's flitting makes a short sitting.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
You can't whistle and chew meal.
Never put off for to-morrow what you can do to-day.
A dog is bold on his own hearth.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy wise and late to bed and late to rise makes a man beg before he dies.
Keep a thing (seven) for seven years and you shall find use for it.
Pride gets a fall.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Time or tide wait for no man.
Better late than never.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
It's a bad dog that is not worth whistling for.
Its a long road that has no turn.
Hills are green far away.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
A wise head keeps a shut mouth.
It's far away that God sends.
When the cat is away the mouse can play.
Extravagance in youth brings want in old age.(continues on next page)
