    Proverbs
    It is an ill wind, blows no body good.
    If the cap fits you wear it.
    Ash green would make a fire for a queen.
    The time or the tide wait for no man.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    When the cat is out the mice have leave to play.
    A rolling rock gathers no moss.
    First impressions are lasting.
    Practise makes perfect.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    Saying and doing are two things.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    God never closed a gap but he opened another.
