    runs dry.
    Uneasy is the head that wears a crown.
    Blood is thicker than water.
    Never venture never win.
    Hills look green far away.
    Keep a thing seven years and you shall find a use for it.
    Hunger is a good sauce.
    Doctors differ and patients die.
    Theres no smoke without a fire.
