Mixed Metaphors

The ugly duckling turned out to be the black sheep of the family.

A penny saved is worth two in the bush

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make hay where the sun don't shine.

Never put off til tomorrow what you can‘t take with you.

You've only got one netaphor there: an early worm. "Curiosity" is not a metaphor. You're getting sayings and metaphors mixed up.

A penny saved, is pretty useless to you.
