    Proverbs
    Every dog is stiff at his own door
    The lonest way round is the shortest way home
    It is better to be alone than to be in bad company
    It is better to go to bed hungry than to rise in debt
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    Experience is the best teacher
    One minute early is better than an hour late
    One ounce of help is better than a ton of pity
    A merry heart goes all the day
