- A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush. Rome was not built in a day. A stitch in time saves mine. A light heart lives long. No mornings sun lasts a whole day. The early bird catches the worm There's many a slip between the cup and the lip. A rolling stone gathers no moss. A new broom sweeps clean. Make hay while the sun shines One years seeding is none years weeding All is not gold that glitter Put a beggar on horse back and he'll ride to hell
