- A stitch in time saves nine
There no hearth like your own heart
A good beginning is half the work
Time nor tide waits for nobody
a fire in hand is with two in a bush
between two stools we come to the ground
theres many a slip twist the cup and the lip
Whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
a burnt child dreads the fire
its a sad heart that never rejoices
never put all your eggs in on basket
one man meat is another mans poison
never meet troubles half way
birds of a feather flock together
a man is known by his company
when wine is in wit is out
where there a will theres a way
one man can lead a horse to a pond to drink but forty cannot make him drink
early to led early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
out of debt out of danger
never leave till tomorrow what you can(continues on next page)
