    worth two in a bush
    Make hay where the sun shines.
    Its never too late to mend
    Green are the hills far away
    Don't break a vow nor make one
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    Its a long lane that hasn't a turning
    Always taking out of a meal tub, and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom
    Marry in haste and repent at your leisure.
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Never put off until to-morrow what you can
