- A stitch in time saves nine.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
Two heads are better than one.
A wise head keeps a shut mouth.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Wide will wear, but, tight will tear.
Honesty is the best policy.
Between two stools, you come to the ground.
A penny saved, is a penny gained.
Children and fools should not handle edged tools.
It is too late to lock the stable-door, when the steed is stolen.
Look before you leap.
Lose an hour in the morning, and you will be all the day chasing it.
Kindle the dry sticks, and the green ones will catch.
Never put off till to-morrow, what you can do to-day.
Many heads make light work.
Small leaks sink great ships.(continues on next page)
