- Old Sayings.
By and by is often too easily to said.
Work ill begun is never well done.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the brush.
Many hands make light work.
Your neighbour is often your friend.
Time nor tide waits for no man.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wealthy ans wise.
Lato to bed and late to rise beggars a man up to his eyes.
Rising late one must gallop all day.
Whats worth beginning is worth finishing. Business first and pleasure after.
If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb, and it it comes like a lamb it goes out like a lion.
Hunger is good kitchen.
As weak as water.
As red as blood.
As white as milk.
As dark as pitch.
