- Keep something for the sore foot.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Make the hay while the suns shines.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It is good that mends.
God helps those who help themselves.
Between two stools you will come to the ground.
Hills are green far away.
A lamb is a sheep in another country.
Look before you leap.
Take care of the pounds and the pence will take care of themselves.
Better late than never.
The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the boreen.
An Englishman's house is his castle.
Live horse and you will get grass.
All is not gold that glitters.
Hit the nail on the head.
Hit the iron while it's red.(continues on next page)
