- A stitch in time saves nine
Courage is half the battle
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Don't spur a free horse
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Three removes are as bad as five
delays are dangerous
Mills never grind with the water that is past
Honesty is the best policy
He laughs best who laughs last
Mocking is catching
A cat has leave to look at a king
Any excuse will serve a tyrant
Slow and sure goes far in a day
a sound mind in a sound body
Never sell your hen on a rainy day
Make hay while the sun shines
The early bid catches the early worm
Idleness breeds mischief
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy and wise
He that by the plough would thrive, himself must either hold or drive
Bows in Connaught have long horns
There are green fields far away
God helps them who helps themselves(continues on next page)
