- Enough is as good as a feast.
A stitch in time saves nine.
It never rains but it pours.
The more haste, less speed.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Wherever there are women there is talk.
Good children make glad parents.
Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Listen to the sound of the river and you will catch a trout.
Never too late to learn.
Better late then never.
A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning, but a rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight.
When the cat is out the mouse is dancing.
Wherever there is an old shoe there is a stocking to match it.
Look before you leap.
It is better to be sure than sorry.
You cannot keep your loaf and eat it at the same time.
New brooms sweep clean.
Hunger is the best sauce.(continues on next page)
