    (continued from previous page)
    Never count your chickens till your eggs are hatched.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Waste not, want not.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
    We never know the Good of water till the well runs dry.
    He is a good hurler that sits in the ditch.
    For age and want, save while you may, no morning run lasts a whole day,
    Procrastination is the thief of time.
    A flock of geese is like a group of women.
