- The early bird catches the worm.
Look before you leap.
The darkest hour of all is the hour before the dawn.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

The wise man always carries his coat the fin e day.

A dry Summer never begs its bread.
May chickens never grow full size.
A wet March makes a bad harvest.(continues on next page)
