- The early bird gets the worm.
Send a goose around the world and it will come back as a goose.
It is a wise man who carries his coat.
A wink is as good as a nod to a blind donkey.
It is a long lane that there is no turn in.
No news is good news.
Once bitten, twice shy.
It is no good throwing apples into an orchard.
There will be caps on the green and no one to lift them.
Old masons make good barrow-men.
Foreign cows have long horns.
Experience keeps a dear school but a fool will learn in no other.
One swallow never made a summer.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Two hands are better than one.
There is many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.
Great minds think alike.
