- ProverbsMake hay while the sun shines.
Well begun is half done.
Better late than never.
Strike the iron while it is hot.
The early bird picks the worm.
Thinks twice before you speak one.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A half of a load is better than no bread.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
Look before you leap.
Rise with the lark and go to bed with the lamb.
Too many cooks spoils the broth.
One mans food is another mans poison.
The man on the helm steers the ship.
If you grasp at too much you will lose all.
The best hurler is on the fence.
Looking for wool in the goats house.
Don't put off until tomorrow that which you can go today.
One good turn deserves another.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
If you want a thing done do it yourself.
The long coming comes at last.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Have it of your own or be without it.(continues on next page)
