- Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Its an ill wind that blows nobody good
Where there is an "if" there is always a want
Thinking is bad wit
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Strength said the wren when he pulled the maggot out of the ditch
The more hurry the less speed
Where there is smoke there is always a fire
A stitch in time saves nine
