- One look before is worth two behind
Dont waste a penny candle looking for a halfpenny
Let very well alone
Take care of the pence (p) and the pounds will take care of themselves.
Whats worth doing atall is worth doing well.
Laugh and the world laughs with you weep and you weep alone.
A straw shows how the wind blows.
- When all fruits fail welcome haw
Make your bed and lie on it
A girl without learning and wearing good clothes is like a gold ring in a pig's nose.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It is a bad wind that doesn't favour somebody.
A good thing when lost is valued most.(continues on next page) - Collector
