  1. Health is better than wealth.
    Never venture never win.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    Closed mouths catch no flies.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    You can’t get blood from a turnip.
    A chip of the one block.
    What’s bred in the bone comes out in the flesh.
    Every cat after his kind.
    Nature is stronger than learning.
    You can’t have your loaf and eat it.
    A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush.
    All’s well , that ends well.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
