    Win gold and wear it.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    A street angel and a house devil.
    "Proverbs"
    Smooth water runs deep.
    A straw best shows how the wind blows.
    Look before you leap.
    A nod is as good as a wink for a blind horse.
    An empty sack cant stand.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    The best hurler is often in the ditch.
    A new broom sweaps clean, but the old one is best for the corners.
    There is no fireside like your own.
    Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
    Send a goose to Dover and a goose she will return.
