- (continued from previous page)He who hids knows where to find
Make hay when the sun shines
Don't cross bridges until you come to them.
Health is better than wealth.
A stolen bite is sweet.
Hunger is good sauce.
By our mistakes we learn.
Never meet trouble half way
A prophet has no honour in his own country.
Patience and perseverance brings a snail to Jerusalem.
Slow and steady wins the race
Little and often makes a leap in time
Great minds think alike
Many a one cuts a rod to beat himself
It is the last straw breaks the mules back
Familiarity breeds contempt
It is too late to lock the stable when the steed is stolen
Time enough lost the ducks
Variety is the spice of life
A heavy purse makes a light heart
It is too late to sharpen ones sword when the drum beats to battle
Changes are lightsome
