  1. From generation to generations people have been listening to old proverbs and sayings but I suppose the oldest and wisest of them all is this.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy, and wide.
    Another proverb which all wise people should know and put into practice is:-
    Never leave off till to-morrow what you can do to-day
    Other sayings are:-
    Always look before you leapNever try to cross a bridge until you come to it.
    Strike while the iron is red.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Those who reach the top first must climb the hill
    A dear article is always the cheapest
    Work well begun, is half done
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Manners maketh man
    The child is father of the man
