   After a storm comes a calm.
   Health is worth more than wealth.
   He who slings mud is loseing ground.
   Penny wise is often pound foolish.
   The longest round is the shortest way home.
   Possession is eleven points of the law.
   Better late than never.
   For want of decency is want of sence.
   Immodest words admit of no defence.
   The end must justify the means.
   The early bird catches the early worm.
   Praise a fair day at night.
   Look before you leap.
   Make hay while the sun shines.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
   Small leaks sink great ships.
   Good words are good but good deeds are better.
