    Save pence and the shillings will save themselves.
    Little boats should keep near shore but larger boats might venture more.
    Never sell your hen on a wet day.
    Never send a pup on a dog's message.
    A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.
    Time and tide will wait for no man.
    One at a time is good fishing.
    The darkest cloud has a silver lining.
    Save the hay whilst the sun shine
    For age and want save whilst you may, for no morning sun lasts a whole day.
