  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    A wise man carries his coat.
    Willful waste, woeful want.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    The windy day isn't the day to thatch.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    A rod in time is worth nine.
    A good start is half the work.
    A patch is better than a hole.
    It is better late than ever.
    Look before you leap.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    From the frying pan into the fire.
    Constant grinding wears a stone.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
