  1. The longest way round is the nearest way home.
    Time flies and death approaches. Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. God never lets the wind blow hard on the shorn lamb.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    The more hurry the less speed. One look before you is better than two looks after you.
    One without a dinner is two for a supper.
    Every man knows where the boot catches himself.
    Health is better than wealth .
    God never closes a door but he opens a window.
