   One hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
   First and second goes alike but the third takes the bite.
   United we stand divided we fall.
   Time or tide will wait for no man.
   ignorance is a heavy load.
   Its an ill wind blows nobody good.
   Spare the rod and spoil the child.
   Much ado about nothing.
   Patience is a virtue.
   Prove a friend before you trust him.
   Rome was not built in a day.
   Procrastination is the thief of time.
   Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.
   Love worketh no ill to his neighbour.
   A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
