- (continued from previous page)Seeing is believing.
First asked, first served.
Out of sight out of mind.
Paper never refused ink.
A stitch in time saves nine.
As thick as a double ditch.
It's never too late to mend.
Practice makes perfect.
As sweet as a sour apple.
A penny wise is often a point foolish
Look before you leap.
The early bird catches the early worm
Many hands make light work.
The third time the charm.
A cat with gloves catches no mice
As sweet as sugar.
There's good goods in small parcels.
March grass never does good.(continues on next page)
