Jumbled proverbs

A stitch in time gathers no moss.

An Englishman's home cannot change its spots.

A fool and his money makes the heart grow fonder.

An apple a day makes Jack a dull boy.

Don't count your chickens after the horse has bolted.

He who hesitates laughs last.

Don't put all your eggs before the horse.

If you can't beat 'em, be careful.

If you can't be good, join 'em.

It's the empty can that catches the worm.

Can you think of any more?

A little of what you fancy is as good as a rest.

If you want a thing done well, get out of the kitchen.

Marry in haste, look before you leap.

I can't take credit for that, it's the work of the great Sir Terry Pratchett, my favourite author.

Fools rush in when the cat's away.

You can't have your cake and lie on it.

Don't count your chickens where angels fear to tread.
