  1. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A penny saved a penny gained.
    The longest way round the shortest way home.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Little strokes fell great oaks.
    A stich in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Where the woman are there is talk.
    Do not look at what you see: do not listen to what you hear.
    If you fo not sow in the spring you will not reap in Autumn.
    Every cat after its kind.
    A borrowed horse has hand hoofs.
    Tell me with whom you go and I will tell you what you are.
    He who rises late never does a good days work.
