  1. (continued from previous page)
    to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    Eggs badly boiled are good things spoiled.
    Never put off til tomorrow what you can do today.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Those who live in glasshouses should never throw stones.
    A world before is worth two after.
    Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    Never spend your money before you get it.
    Economy is the easy chair in old age.
    It is ill wind that blows nobody good.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
