- (continued from previous page)An empty house needs no thatch
Long fair long foul.
A lesson bought is worth two taught.
A good beginning is half the work.
Save the hay while the sun shines.
A closed mouth is sweet.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
For the want of a nail the shoe was lost
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost
For the want of a horse the rider was lost
All for the want of a horse shoe nail
Plough deep while sluggers sleep, and you'll have corn to sell and to keep.
A penny wise a pound foolish.
A gifted horse should never be looked at in the mouth.
Those who live in glass houses never should throw stones.
