STOLEN waters are sweet

thrift


CUT your coat according to your cloth
KEEP a thing seven years..
OUT of debt, out of danger
take care of the PENCE..
a PENNY saved is a penny earned
PENNY wise and pound foolish
see a PIN and pick it up..
SPARE well and have to spend
THRIFT is a great revenue
WASTE not, want not

tidiness see orderliness


time


there is a TIME and place for everything
TIME and tide wait for no man
TIME flies
there is a TIME for everything
TIME is a great healer TIME is money
man fears TIME, but time fears the pyramids
no TIME like the present
TIME will tell
TIME works wonders
TIMES change and we with time

it takes ALL sorts to make a world
BEAR and forbear
GIVE and take is fair play JUDGE not, that ye be not judged
to KNOW all is to forgive all
LIVE and let live
