  1. The early bird catches the worm.
    Look before you leap.
    The darkest hour of all is the hour before the dawn.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Never wait for the storm to cut the scallops.
    The wise man always carries his coat the fin e day.
    A cat with gloves catches no mice.
    A dry Summer never begs its bread.
    May chickens never grow full size.
    A wet March makes a bad harvest.
