- After a storm there comes a calm
God helps those who helps themselves
Many hands make light work
Laziness is a heavy load
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Courage is half the battle
Every beginning is weak.
Too many cooks spoil the broath
A stich in time saves nine
Save hay while the sun shines
A rolling stone gathers no moss
The night of wind should not be the night of the scallob.
Birds of one feather all flock together
A wise man always carries his coat
The longest way round is the shortest way home
Do to yourself what you would like to do to another.
Go to bed with the dark and get up with the lark.
it is better to die that tell a lie
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
