  1. Don't throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water in.
    Weep and you weep alone.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Heaven helps those who help themselves.
    It's a long road which has no turning.
    The longest way round is the safest way home.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    As long as a wet Sunday.
    As dry as a bone.
    Between two stools you fall to the ground.
