- Spare the rod, and spoil the child.
Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
You can't have your loaf and eat it.
Time and tide wait for no one
Hang up your bacon and you'll have it when you want it.
Don't spare for to-morrow, what you want for to-day
You never miss the water till the well goes dry.
Don't cut the buttons off an old trousers (when you're giving it away.
Every dog has his day.
