There seems to be a proverb for every situation in life, my favourite is:

Least said, soonest mended.

Procrastination is the thief of time.
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Don't keep all your eggs in one basket.
One swallow doesn't make a summer.

So do I Annie! A local church used to have a different quotation on their roadside noticeboard every week. They were nearly all good, but this one has always stuck with me for some reason!

Never marry for money. You can borrow it cheaper.
