    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Stich on Sunday rip on Monday.
    One good turn deserves another.
    One lie leads to many.
    Silk and satin put out the kitchen fire.
    A penny saved is a penny gained.
    Mind the pence and the pounds will mind themselves.
    By candle-light a goat is like a lady.
