  1. A stitch in time saves nine.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Never venture never win.
    What's a home without a mother.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    A watched pot never boils.
    Make the hay while the sun shines
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Take the ball on the hop.
    Never put off till to - morrow what you can do today.
    Time and tide wait for no man
    Great barkers seldom bite.
    Many hands make light work.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    Persevere and you will win through.
    Half a loaf is better than no bread
    Better late than never.
