    in debt.
    Far away hills look green.
    No morning sun lasts the whole day.
    Lost time is never found again.
    It is easy baking when you are near the meal.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    Man proposes, God disposes.
    Deep water runs smooth.
    Look before you leap.

    God helps those that help themselves.
    Everyone has his price.
    Health is better than wealth.
