Here are some of them
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Too much of one thing is good for nothing.
A story without an author is not worth listening to.
Save the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
Never throw apples into an orchard.
Its no use going to the goats house to look for wool.
I'll tell you a story, a story thats true
