When the sun shines, make hay.

He who begins many things finishes nothing.

When the iron is hot, strike.

Of a good beginning cometh a good end.

All beginning is difficult. The first million is the hardest.

Think of the going out before you enter.

The beginning is half of every action.

You must empty a box before you fill it again.

He who begins many things finishes but few.

He! He! He! You begin with the meal before the water is boiling!
