A still tongue makes a wise head.-Someone who does not talk much, but listens to other people, probably has experience, knowledge and good judgement.
God helps them that help themselves.-This semi-humorous saying suggests that we should not rely entirely on God to help us. God will help us if we make an effort.
A watched pot never boils.-Anything that we wait for with eager attention seems to take a very long time.
A word to the wise is enough.-A very brief warning or explanation is enough for an intelligent person.
A stitch in time saves nine.-Repair something as soon as it is damaged. That’s a small repair job. If not, you will have a much bigger and more expensive repair job later.
