- Blood is thicker than water. When you go to Rome, do as Rome does. Rome was not built in day. Enough is as good as a feast. An Idle man tempts the devil. You can't knock blood out of a turnip. A stitch in time saves nine. Spare the rod and spoil the child. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Wilful waste makes awful want. Pennies wise and pound foolish. A pennie savedd is a pennie gained. Look before you leap. It is too late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen. Out of dept out of danger. A burnt child dreads the fire.
