- Spare the rod and spoil the child.
A stitch in time saves nine.
It is never too late to mend.
The wise man always carries his coat on the fine day.
Wilful waste brings woeful want.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Health is better that wealth.
Charity begins at home.
He who grasps to much shall loose all.
Two many cooks spoil the broth.
Late to spare when all is spent
Put A beggar on horse back and he will ride to the devil.
Never bid good morrow to the devil(continues on next page)
