- A stitch in time saves nine.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Whoever calls the tune pays the piper.
Long fair, long foul.
It's a long lane that has no turning.
Health to wear, strength to tear and money to buy another pair.
There is no cure for death.
If you don't sow in spring you won't reap in the harvest.
Short and sweet like a donkey's gallop.
Make hay while the sun shines.
The mills of God grined slowly but they grined exceeding fine.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
The kettle calling the pot black.
A haw year is a braw year.
Never count your chickens before they are hatched.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
God helps those who helps themselves.(continues on next page)
