Where there ' s a will , there ' s a way ; Where there ' s a pill , there ’ s a fray ; Where there ’ s a bill , there ’ s dismay . Don ' t count your chickens before they are hatched ; Don ' t count your lickings before they are catched . A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ; A herd on the land is worth two in the “ Bush .”
A friend in need is a friend in deed . A bending reed is a sending seed . A man in tweed is a man indeed . A cheerful look makes a dish a feast . A successful hook makes a fish a feast . A stitch in time saves nine . A switch in time saves crime . One good turn deserves another ; One good germ preserves his brother .
All that glitters is not cold ; All that shivers is not cold ; All that ' s tittered is not told . Once bitten , twice shy ; Once kitten , now pie . It ’ s not the cowl that makes the monk ; It ’ s not the howl that makes the bum p ; It ' s not the scowl that makes the “ frump .” Look before you leap ; Listen , before you peep ; Never put off till to-morrow what you can to to-day ; Never return what you borrow , what you can , keep without pay .
