- Proverbs
It's never too late to mend.
A stitch in time saves nine.
It's better late than never.
A used key is always bright.
You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
A wild day is no day for thatching.
A time and place for everything and everything in it's own time and place.
There is never smoke without fire.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Sow in the Spring and you will reap in the Autumn.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Rome was not built in a day.
Show me your work and I will tell you what you are.
It is an ill wind that does not blow good to somebody.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Hunger is a good sauce.
A poor man's wants would make another man rich.
