A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A stich in time saves nines
Don’t set your hopes too high
Be kind to others as you would like them to be to you
Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched
It’ like throwing water into the ocean
Put the pedal to the metal
It’s worth its weight in gold
Live beyond your means
Cut the leg off of the chair
Slower than molasses in January
The shakers and the movers
A champagne taste of a beer income
S/he is a real hotdog
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Work like a dog and get paid peanuts
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
