  1. A rainbow in the morning is the shepherds warning, a rainbow at night is the shepherds delight.
    Never take the book by the cover.
    There are good goods in small parcels.
    There is a silver lining to every cloud.
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    Save while you May. No Summers sun lasts a whole day.
    Do as you would be done by.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    Little by little an acorn grows.
