  1. A wise man brings his coat on a fine day
    It is a long lane that has no turn
    A slow fire makes sweet malt
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
    A stitch in time saves nine
    There is no place like home
    Make hay while the sun shines
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day
    Have it yourself or be without it
    You never miss the water till the well runs dry
    An early bird catches the worm
    The early worm meets his death
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise
    For the want of a nail the shoe was lost
    It is never too late to mend
