- Wilful waste makes woeful want.
A place for everything and everything in its place.
A stitch in time saves nine
Many hands make light work.
Its hard to knock an old dog off his trot.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Don't take the book by the cover.
A barking dog seldom bites
It is hard to kill a bad thing.
Tell me your company and I'll tell you what yor are.
A bird in the fist is better than two in the bush.
To late to spare when all is spent.
Comfort to all men and friendship to a few and keep at a distance from all bad company.
Long treatening comes at last.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Bend the twig when it is young
Wait for the fine day and you'll get it
Every man to his own taste.
