A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
He laughs best who laughs last.
Laugh when the world laughs with you, weep when you weep alone.
Butter to butter is no kitchen.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Ill wind that blows nobody good.
Good, goods go into small bounds.
Good corn grows long.
A bad weed grows fast.
Far away (country) cows have long horns.
Ill got gain doesn't last one generation.
Round the world for a near cut, and the longest way round is the nearest way home.

Fine feathers make fine birds.(continues on next page)
