   New kings make new rules.
   A new broom sweeps clean
   The early bird catches the early worm.
   Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy wealthy and wise.
   A stich, stitch in time saves nine.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
   Bad weeds grow quickly.
   Good corn grows long.
   A hungry eye can see far.

   A good name is better than riches. A burned child dreads the fire. A little leak will sink a great ship. A well is never missed until it is dry. A straw best shows how the wind blows. A kind face is a beautiful face. A constant drop wears a hole in a stone. Emty vessels make a great sound. A rosy apple may be rotten at the core.
