    Look before you leap.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    Never leave off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    Leave off contention before it is meddled with
    A soft word twineth away wrath.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Keep your shop and your shop will keep you
    As poor as a church mouse.
    As laxy as butter is "gravy"
    As clean as pins in paper.
    As ignorant as a kesh of broges
    A haughty spirit before a fall
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
