- A stitch in time saves nine.
Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
It is too late to spare when all is spent.
An idle man tempts the devil.
It is a wise man that carries his coat on a fine day.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A rainbow in the morning is the sailor's warning, and a rainbow in the night is the sailor's delight.
God gives enough to the cheerful giver.
Never leave until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
The early bird catches the early worm.
One look before you is better than two behind you.
Breeding breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
It is a bad wind that blows nobody good.

When all fruit fails welcome haws.
Friends tie their purses with a spiders web.
A pearl is often found in an ugly shell.(continues on next page)
