  1. Hell is paved with good intentions.
    God helps those who helps themselves.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
    Feast and your halls are crowded, fast and the world goes by.
    Practise what you preach.
    There is no fire-side like your own.
    Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
