- (continued from previous page)Never carry mud to the bog.
Never crow until you are out of the wood.
Always look before you leap.
If youth could tell what age would crave, many an ill-spent shilling it would save.
It's a long lane that has no turn.
Blood is thicker than water.
A stitch in time saves nine.
The seed you will sow is the corn you will reap.
As a man lives so shall he die.
A man's house is his castle.
You never know the want of water till the well goes dry.
Little said is easy mended.
A closed mouth keeps a wise head.
A wise man always carries his coat.
