Strike While The Iron Is Hot..............

Act decisively and take your opportunities when they arise.

This old proverb clearly alludes to the imagery of the blacksmith or farrier at his forge. If he delays in shaping the iron when it is hot a pliable the metal soon cools and hardens and the opportunity is lost.

Silence is golden.........

A proverbial saying, often used in circumstances where it is thought that saying nothing is preferable to speaking and saying something you may regret in the long run.

Although this precise phrase was first recorded only in 1848, it is part of a much older proverb, “Speech is silver and silence is golden.”
