  1. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Never leave till to morrow what you can do to - day.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
    He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing
    All is not gold that glisters.
    There is no rose without a thorn.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    Many cooks spoil the broth.
    Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
