  1. (continued from previous page)
    Look before you leap.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    All's well that ends well.
    Never count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Many a good tune was played on an old fiddle.
    Child of the dust should not be proud.
    It stands stiff in a beggarman's pocket.
    There is never a fire without smoke.
    If 'iffs' an 'ands' were pots and pans there would be no need for tinkers.
    Nearly is never in danger.
    There is never a lane without a turn.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
