  1. A stitch in time saves nine.
    Never take the book by the cover.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    The longest way round is the safest way home.
    It's never too late to mend.
    It's no good crying over spilt milk.
    Saturday's wash for Sunday's dash.
    Seldom seen is much admired.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Nature breaks out through the eyes of the cat.
    The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the puddle.
    What the eye wont see the heart wont feet.
    It's a long road that has no turn.
