   Don't count your chickens until the eggs are hatched. A stitch in time saves nine. Spare the rod and spoil the child. A good word never broke a tooth. When your at home do as home does and when you're in Rome do as Rome does. The truth is bitter sometimes. It is easier say what should be done than do it. Better do one thing than talk about a hundred. Better late than never. When the day is fair of your coat take care. A fool and his money are soon parted.
