    (continued from previous page)
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will mind themselves.
    Talk of the Devil and he is sure to appear.
    It is a wise man that shuts his mouth.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Once down is no battle.
    If you don't sow in the Spring, you can't reap in the Autumn.
