  1. You are as wrong as mall bell.
    A watched kettle never boils.
    The longest way around is the safest way home.
    When frost and snow come boot together sit by the fire and spare shoe-leather.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Tis a long lane that has no turning.
    As long as a wet Sunday.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
