- Do not count your chicken till they are hatched.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
A Saturday's flitting makes a short sitting.
A fool and his money are easily parted.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Make your hay while the sun shines.
Sew on Sunday, rip on Monday.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Never sell your hen on a wet day.
Anyone can lead a horse to a river, but who will make him drink.
Many hands make light work
Look before you leap
Too many cooks spoil the broth
It is better go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
Work while you work, and play while you play.
