    1 A stitch in time saves nine.
    2 Make hay while the sun shines.
    3 The beginning of a shower is a mist, the end of a battle is a strife.
    4 Too many cooks spoil the broth
    5 A straw shows how the wind blows.
    6 Money is like muck - no good till spread
    7 Never pit off till to morrow what you can do to day.
    8 One to day is worth two to morrow
    9 The world would not make a racehorse of an ass.
    10 A penny saved is a penny gained.
