- A stitch in time saves nine.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Your son is your son till he marries a wife, your daughter is you daughter all the days of your life.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Your pocket is your friend.
The fat pig in the sty does not pity the hungry one going by.
Time and tide waits for no man.
God helps those who help themselves.
It is a long road that has no turn.
Time is a good story-teller.
Ill got, ill gone.
You can't whistle and chew meal.
Man proposes but God disposes.
God makes the back for the burden.
The truth never choked a man.
It is often a person's mouth breaks his nose.
Beg of a beggar and you will never be rich.(continues on next page)
