1 Necessity is the mother of invention.
2 A stitch in time saves nine.
3 Curiosity killed the cat.
4 The longer you live the more you will learn.
5 Better late than never.
6 Live horse and you will get grass.
7 It never rains but it pours.
8 A shut mouth catches no flies.
9 Birds of a feather flock together.
10 An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
11 The cows in Kerry have long horns.
12 The hills are green far away.
13 Every dog has his day.
