1.
Look before you leap.
He who hesitates is lost.
2. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Don't
beat your head against a stone wall.
3. Absence makes the heart grow
fonder.
Out of sight, out of mind.
4. Never put
off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Don't cross
the bridge until you come to it.
5. Two heads are better than
one.
Paddle your own canoe.
6. Haste makes
waste.
Time waits for no man.
7. You're never
too old to learn.
You can't teach an old dog new
tricks.
8. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Talk is cheap.
9. It's better to be safe than
sorry.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
10.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Beware of Greeks
bearing gifts.
11. Do unto others as you would have others do unto
you.
Nice guys finish last.
12. Hitch your wagon
to a star.
Don't bite off more that you can
chew.
13. Many hands make light work.
Too many
cooks spoil the broth.
14. Don't judge a book by its
cover.
Clothes make the man.
15. The squeaking
wheel gets the grease.
Silence is golden.
