    A man is known by his company.
    Tell me your company and I will tell you who you are
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Your pocket is your friend
    A good book is the best of friends
    A friend in need is a friend indeed
    Two many cooks spoil the broth
    Dont go to the goats house for wool.
