We’ll Burn That Bridge When We Come To It

A rolling stone gathers no

chickens before they hatch

and the best laid plans of mice and men

are paved with good intentions.

A stitch in time saves

a penny earned

and the devil is in the

proof is in the pudding.

It’s always darkest before

the perfect storm

and hell hath no fury like

a silver lining.

It’s my cross to

bear witness,

silence is

the better part of valor.

If wishes were

fish in the sea

a rising tide raises all

ships passing in the night.

One day, my prince will

come rain or shine

out of the frying pan and

we’ll burn that bridge when we come to it.
