   Experience teaches fools to keep from kicking mules. A half a loaf is better than no bread. Children and fools should not handle sharp edged tools. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Small twigs light big fires. Better later than ever. A person often cuts a rod that beats himself. A borrowed horse wears hard hooves. Cows from over the seas have long horns. You can't put a man's head on a boy's shoulder's What ever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Many hands make light work.
