- A stitch in time saves nine,
A new broom sweeps clean.
All that glitters is not gold.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A still tongue makes a wise head.
Better late than never.
Charity begins at home.
Empty vessels make most sound.
Friends are plentiful when the purse is full.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Hunger is the best sauce.
Hear twice before you speak.
It never rains but it pours.
Its an ill wind that blows nobody good.
Look before you leap.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Make the best of a bad bargain.(continues on next page)
