- Its a long lane that hasn't any turn in.
It is an ill wind that blows nobody no good.
Many hands make light work.
Landlesmas day fair and clear, two winters in the one year.
A lie has no legs.
One good turn deserves another.
Self-praise is no recommendation.
Give a dog a bad name and it will stick to it.
Never put off till tomorrow what you could do today.
Waste not want not.
Look before you leap.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
Still waters run deep.
Two heads are better than one.
A bird in hand is worth two in a bush.
Them that laugh last laugh best.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.(continues on next page)
