  1. 'A stitch in time saves nine'
    'Make the hay while the sun shines'.
    'It is to late too spare when all is spent'.
    'You will never miss the water till the well runs dry'.
    'Never leave till tommorrow what you can do today'.
    'A bird in your hand is worth twin in a bush'.
    'Well begun is half done'.
    'A new broom sweeps clean'.
    'The longest way around is the shortest way home'.
    'Still water runs deep'.
