  1. Have it or want it.
    A whistling woman and a crowing hen was never any good since the world began.Look before you leap.
    There is no place like home.
    Home sweet home and the fire out.
    A stitch at a time saves nine.
    A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    A friend in need is a friend in deed.
    The early bird catches the late worm.
    You must put it down early to pick it up early.
    Late is better than never.
    The first the worst the last the luckiest.
    If you cannot do it right dont do the work at all.
    Mocking is catching.
    Come day go day God sends Sunday.
