  1. 1 A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    2 A stitch in time saves nine.
    3 A new broom sweeps clean but the old one scrapes better.
    4 The best hurler is on the ditch.
    5 Never throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water inside.
    6 A word in the court is better than a pound in the purse.
    7 Never put off untill to-morrow, what you can do to-day.
    8 Sing before breakfast, and you will cry before supper.
    9 The more rain the more rest, all fine weather is not the best.
    10 Rain before seven dries before eleven.
    11 Fasting and praying are good for a sinner, but a hungry man must get his dinner.
