  1. A stitch in time saves nine. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Deep water run smooth. Fools make feasts but wise men may eat them. Those who cannot have what they like, must learn to like what they have. The man in the fence is a good hurler. A closed mouth catches no flies. The early bird catches the earthworm. Half a loaf is better than no bread. A rolling stone gathers no moss. All that glitters is not gold.
