    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Never judge a book by its cover.
    Better be born lucky than rich.
    Handsome is as handsome does.
    It is a long lane that has no turning.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Never waste a single penny and you will then save many a pound.
    Never leave a pin or a needle lying useless on the ground.
