Here are the next five proverbs!
He who hesitates is lost
To hesitate means to pause in indecision or being reluctant to do something.
Delay or hesitation may have unfortunate consequences. Therefore, if you react too slowly to situations, especially urgent ones, you may die, get hit, lose a good opportunity, or fail to make the grade.
Look before you leap
To leap means to jump free from or as if from the ground.
We should know what we are getting into before we commit ourselves.
You should think carefully about the possible results or consequences before doing something.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
It is better to have something that is certain than take a risk to get more, where you might lose everything.
When the cat's away the mice will play
When a person in authority is away, those under the person’s rule will enjoy their freedom. Without supervision, people will do as they please, especially in disregarding or breaking rules.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
This proverb now has two meanings: people pay a price for being always on the move, in that they have no roots in a specific place (the original meaning); or people who keep moving avoid picking up responsibilities and cares.
People say this to mean that that a go-getter type person is more successful than a person not doing any thing.
