- As busy as a liar in company.
A lie has no legs.
A closed mouth is sweet.
As long as the day is the night comes.
Always look before you leap.
After a storm comes a calm.
Far off cows wear long horns.
Distant hills are green.
The longest way round is the safest way home.
Time or tide will not wait for anyone.
Smooth waters run deep.
Never judge the book by the cover.
Every old shoe get an old stocking.
Empty buckets make most noise.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Too late to spare when all is spent.
The biggest of goods are made up of the smallest of parcels.
It is never too late to mend.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
An idle man tempts the devil.
