  1. A stitch in time saves nine.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    You will never miss the water untill the well runs dry.
    Too late to spare when all is spent.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Money makes the mare go and makes old women trot.
    You can bring the horse to water but you can't make him drink.
    The longer you will live the more you will see.
    The best is the cheapest in the end.
    Plough deep while sluggers sleep you will have corn to sell and corn to keep.
    A sleepy fox catches no poultry, There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
