Its a bad hound that is not worth whistling for,
If everything was to be done twice all would be wise,
Men preposes but 'God disposes,

- It is better late than never
It is not off the wind she took it,
No sooner said than done, Live horse and you will get grass,

Its a long road that has not a turn.
