- A stitch in nine saves nine.
You never miss the water till the well goes dry.
Its an ill-wind that blows nobody good.
God never shuts one door but he opens another.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Early to rise early to rise. Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Live horse and you get grass
A good beginning is half the work
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Let each one praise the ford as he finds it.
A burned child dreads fire
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Better late than never
Health is better than wealth.
Locking the door when the steed is stolen.
Still waters run deep.
Hills are green far away.
Its a small wind that wouldn't bend a blade of grass.
Rubbing grease on a fat pigs back(continues on next page)
