- What kills one man feeds another man.
Hunger is often a good habit
An early bird catches an early worm.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
You never will miss the water until the well is dry.
A stitch in time saves mine.
A look before you is better than two behind you.
Save the hay while the sun shines.
When the cat is out the mouse can play.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
Save the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
Better late than never.
The longest way around is often the shortest way home.
After a storm comes a calm.
Man proposes but God disposes.
