- A half loaf is better than no bread.
Think twice before you speak once.
A good beginning is half the work.
A watched kettle never boiled.
One hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
The hills are green far away.
Whatever we have we hold.
Put a beggar on horse-back, and he will ride to the devil.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Long threatening comes at last.
If you hold your shop your shop will hold you.
Lost time is never got again.
Facts alone are wanted in life.
On their merits modest men are dumb.
Possession is eleven points of law.
It is a long road that has no turn.
The Connaught cows wear long horns.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.22nd March 1938
