- A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in your hand is worth two in the bush.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Never meet trouble half way.
Whatever you do, do it well.
Many hands make light work.
Where there's a will there's a way.
Youth is the time to learn.
One good turn deserves another.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
When wine is in, wit is out.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Never cross your bridges until you meet them.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Show me your company and I'll tell you what you are.
Its no use locking the stable door when the horse is gone.
All is not gold that glitters.
It is better to go to bed supperles than to rise in debt.(continues on next page)- Collector
