- A stitch in time saves nine
A hungry eye sees far.
A new broom sweeps clean
Work is better than talk
A little pot is soon hot
Courage is half the battle of life
If a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well
If things were done twice all would be wise
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Look before you leap
A closed mouth and a wise head
Empty tins make most sound
The fox runs long but his caught at last
Tell me your company and I will tell you who you are
It is often a persons mouth broke his nose
Honesty is the best policy
Smooth water runs deep
A full purse makes a light heart
It is a long road that has no turning
An empty sack doesn't stand
A good word never broke a persons mouth- Collector
