- Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
You cannot teach an old dog new tricks.
You cannot put a young head on old shoulders.
You should not throw stones at a dead dog.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Never sell your hen on a rainy day.
Never take the book by the cover.
Never venture never win.
Opportunity once lost can never be recalled.
It is no use crying over spilled milk.
Make the hay while the sun shines.
It is an ill wind blows no body any good.
A new broom sweeps clean
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.(continues on next page)
