- Perseverance is the mother of invention.
Rome was not built in a day.
The early bird catches the early worm.
Early to bed early to rise
Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
Health is better than wealth.
A rainbow at night is the shepherds delight.
A rainbow in the morning is the shepherds warning.
A bad workman always quarrels with his tools.
Two wrongs wont make one right.
Children and fools should not handle edged tools.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
A swarm in May is worth a guinea a day.
A swarm in June is worth a silver spoon
A swarm in July you can bid them good bye.
Never judge the book by the cover.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
A stitch in time saves nine.
He who laughs last laughs best.
A closed mouth shows a wise head.(continues on next page)
