    Tis better be sure than sorry.

    'Tis better be sure than sorry.
    You shouldn't count your chickens before they are hatched.
    Birds of feather always flock together.
    Any day this year is earlier than next year.
    Cat after kine; if you aren't lame you will me blind.
    The younger the chicken, the sweeter the picking.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    Prevention is better than cure.
    Better late than never.
    Practise makes perfect.
    Practise what you preach.
    Look before you leap.
    Taste before you touch.
    Every fault is a fashion.
