    is thicker than water. The early bird catches the worm. It is never too late to mend. Where the muck is the luck is.
    It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Far away cows wear long hornes. You should trow stones out of a glass. If it is raining on a wedding day, the old people say, if the bride cry as many tears as it is raining she will be alway be crying.
    Politeness is to do and say the kindest thing in the kindest way.
