Proverbs
1. Time is money.
I think this means that time is precious and valuable thing.
Waste of time is no better than a waste of money.

2. A stitch in time saves nine.
I think this meaning that you should beware of something before run into a stone wall.
This proverb like a "Providing is preventing".

3. There's no time like the present.
Maybe this means that don't lose your chance.
Present is the oppotunity of a lifetime.

4. Let's meet at 4. If I'm not there by 5, leave without me at 6, and I'll be there at 7.
I'm not sure what this meaning.
Surely, this means that it is very important things that be punctual to the minute in human relations.

Superstitions 
・It is a sign of good luck to have a tea stalk floating erect in your tea.
・If you whistle at midnight, snakes swarmed around your house.
