  1. Be sure your sins will find you out.
    One penny gets another.
    Two heads are better than one.
    One swallow never makes a Summer.
    A constant drop wears a hole in a stone.
    Lies have lame legs.
    The darker the hour the nearer the dawn.
    Bad weeds grow well.
    It takes a liar have a good memory.
    Patience and perseverance would take a snail to Jerusalem.
    They are lifeless that are faultless.
    A good soldier never looks behind.
    Better to have no child than one child.
    If you want a thing done well do it yourself.
    Never trust a friend that is sly and selfish.
