   A wrinkled purse a wrinkled face. Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise. A lie has no legs. It is better late than ever. A stitch in time saves nine. Between two stools I came to the ground. A penny saved is a penny gained. Before you marry be sure of a house wherein to tarry. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. A half loaf is better than no bread. He that loveth the danger shall perish therein. The longest war round in the shortest way home.
