    (continued from previous page)
    Years are but moments multiplied.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    It’s a bad wind that doesn’t favour someone.
    Any port in a storm.
    Education is a good investment.
    “A man without learning and wearing good clothes
    Is like a gold ring in a pig’s nose”
    “Early to bed and early to rise
    Makes one healthy, wealthy and wise”
    “Silence is golden.”
    “A nod is as good as a wink”
    “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy”
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    Many hands make light work.
    Union is strength.
    Abscence makes the heart grow fonder.
    Your friend is your pocket.
    Hills are green far away.
    Out of work comes true nobility.
