- The night is long that never finds the day.
An empty sack will not stand.
It is a long road that has no twin.
It is difficult to cut wool from a goat.
The man that does not sow does not reap.
The man who never made a mistake never made anything else.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Never leave off till to-morrow that which you can do to-day.
You can't hunt a bird out of a bush that she is not in.
A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush.
The early bird get the early worm.
Early to bed, and early to rise, make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
It's a sad heart that never rejoices.
