- A stich in time saves nine.
You [?] should not count your chickens until they are hatched.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scollops.
Live horse and you will get grass.
A good word never broke a man's tooth yet.
Little said is easy mended.
Wilful waste makes a woeful want.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
A silent head is never in dread
Education is no load.
The longer you live the more you learn.
Manners makes the gentleman.
Never leave until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
You will never miss the water until the well goes dry
A good beginning is half the battle
Small twigs light big fires
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Less noise or there will be more.
So far and yet so (far) near.(continues on next page)
