- Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A closed mouth catches no fly.
Smooth water runs deep.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
One year's seeding is nine year's weeding

- There is no use crying spilt milk.
One look before you , is better than two behind you.
Think twice before you answer once.
look before you leap.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
