- A stitch in time saves nine.
All that glitters is not gold.
Green are the hills that are far away.
A watched pot never boils.
Better late than never.
The more hurry the less speed.
A bird in a hand is better than two on a bush.
Time will tell.
It's never too late to learn.
Don't count the chickens before they are hatched.
Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
When the cat is out the mouse can play.
Time or tide waits for no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
Saying and doing are two different things.
A good name is better than riches.
Make haste while the sun shines.
A word to the wise is enough.
Honesty is the best policy.
By fools the wise man live.
Ask no questions and you will hear no lies.
It is a long road has no turning.(continues on next page)
