  2. Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    For the want of a nail the shoe was lost.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    When another man's house is on fire take care of your one.
    The last straw breaks the camels back
    Never look at a half finished job.
    Don't leave until morrow what you can do today.
    Second thoughts are generally best.
    One man's word is as good as anothers.
    Doctors differ and patients die.
