- Time and tide wait for no man. The windy day is not the day to thatch. The more we do the more we can do. Distance lends enchantment to the view. Every cloud has a silver lining. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Actions speak louder than words. Once bitten twice shy. Better late than never. Nothing venture nothing win. A good action is never lost. It's no use crying over spilt milk. To do an evil act is base. It's a long lane that has no turning. Empty vessels make most sound. Little things are great for little men. A light heart lives long. The hills are green far away. All's well that ends well. A stitch in time saves nine. Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day. Many hands make light work. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Strike the iron white 'tis hot. Spare the stick and spoil the child.
