- The more haste, the less speed.
No news is good news.
Like father, like son.
To late to spare when all is spent, but never too late to mend.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
As the old cock crows, the young cock learns.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
A place for everything, and everything in its place.
Never put off till to-morrow, what you can do to-day
Keep a thing for seven years, and you will find use for it.
Two heads are better then one.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
The early bird catches the worm.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Practice makes perfect.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The longest way round is the safest way home.
A watched pot never boils
When the cat is out, the mouse can play.
One good turn deserves another.(continues on next page)
