  1. When the weather is fair of your cloak take care.
    A penny saved is one gained.
    The old cat never burned himself.
    A straw best shows how the wind blows.
    The darkest hour is just before the dawn.
    Empty cold walls make a poor housekeeper.
    It is often the mouth of the grave left room to one that needed it.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A little pot is soon warm.
    Hills are green far away.
    It is too late to spare when all is spent.
    Better late than never.
    A courageous man never failed.
    There is no place like home.
    If you dont sow you wont reap.
