   Never do to others what you would not like, done to yourself,
   Promise little and do much.
   Many hands make light work.
   You never miss the water till the well goes dry.

2. Local Proverbs

   A rolling stone will not gather moss.
   Tide or time waits for no man.
   Better late than never.
   Never put back until to morrow what you can do to day.
   Where there is muck there is luck.
   Look before you leap.
   The more hurry the less speed.
   A stitch in time saves nine
   You never miss the water until the well goes dry
