March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Never defer till tomorrow, what you can do today.

Two wrongs never make one right.
Strike the iron while its hot.
A whistling woman and a crowing hen, there's no luck in the house they're in.
Mind your shop and your shop will mind you.
A little said is easy mended.
Habit is second nature.
It's a good horse who carries his own load.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Where there's a will there's a way.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
What is worth doing is worth doing well.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
If if's and and's were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinker's hands.
Good habit's are as easily formed as bad ones
One should think all they say, but should not say all they think.
