    (1) A stitch in time saves nine.
    (2) The burned child dreads the fire.
    (3) As changeable as the March wind.
    (4) He that would steal a pin would steal a greater thing.
    (5) A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    (6) Better late than never.
    (7) Birds of a feather flock together.
    (8) After a storm comes a calm.
    (9) Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
    (10) The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    (11) A penny for your thoughts.
    (12) Its an ill wind blows no one any
