- Mind the pounds and the pence will mind themselves.
The hand that rock the cradle rules the world.
A wilful waste makes a woeful want.
There's mercy to be found twixt the stirrup and the ground.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise.
Two heads are better than one.
He that loveth the danger shall persih therein.
Time and tide waits for no man
The early bird catches the early worm.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Great minds think alike.
The darkest hour is before the dawn
Smooth waters run deep.(continues on next page)
