- Proverbs.
There is no hearthstone like your own. Catch the ball on its first hop. Hit the nail on the head. Every dog is bolder at his own door. Keep what you have till you get what you want. A good run is better than a bad stand. There is no one without a fault. No matter how long the day is the night has to come. Hills are green far away. Its better one hour in the morning than two in the evening. Dont spend the world easy. Listen to the sound of the river and your get trout. The more haste the less speed.
