My idioms/Sayings
My saying/idioms:
A stitch in time saves nine
Daylight robbery

2. A stitch in time saves nine
Means:
You use this proverb to say that it is better to spend a little time to deal with problems rather than waiting. If you wait until later, things will get worse, and it will take much longer to deal with them.

3. Origin
The 'stitch in time' notion has been current in English for a very long time and is first recorded in Thomas Fuller's Gnomologia, Adagies and Proverbs, Wise Sentences and Witty Sayings, Ancient and Modern, Foreign and British, 1732: "A Stitch in Time May save nine." 

4. Daylight robbery!
Means:
Shameless and unfair overcharging.

5. Origin
In 1696, William III of England introduced a property tax which required those living in houses with more than six windows to pay a fee. In order to avoid the tax, house owners would brick up all windows except six. As the bricked-up windows prevented some rooms from receiving any sunlight, the tax was referred to as daylight robbery.
(The Window Tax lasted until around 1851, and older houses with bricked-up windows are still a common sight in UK.)
