- One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A stitch in time saves nine.
It is not off the wind he took it
Better late than never
The day of the wind is not the day to be putting
on the scollops
silk and satin put out the kitchen fire
the longest way round is the nearest way home
many hands make light work
when you get an inch you want a mile
it is a long road that has not a turn
a friend in court is better than money in your purse
people with glass house should not throw stones
look before you leap
spare the rod and spoil the child
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Constant dropping wears the stone
When cat is out the mice can play.
