- A stitch in time saves nine.
A robin red-breast in a cage puts all heaven in a rage.
A watched pot never boils.
Have it yourself or be without it.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
You should always take the ball on the hop.
Laugh and the world will laugh with you, weep and you weep alone.
Never put off till to morrow what you can do to day.
Never judge the book by the cover.
Many hands make light work.
Work well begun is half done.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Every picture tells a story.
The early bird catches the worm.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
The longer you live, the more you will know.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Patience is a virtue.
A friend in need, is a friend indeed.
What is not worth asking for is not worth having.
A sense never comes before age.
