    Counting the chickens before they are hatched.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Slow but sure wins the race.
    Health is better than wealth.
    The hills are green far away.
    The cows of Connaught wear long horns.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Constant dropping wears a stone.
    Two many cooks spoil the broth.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Rome was not built within a day.
