    Man proposes but god disposes.
    Look before you leap.
    Tell me your company _ I will tell you who you are.
    An empty Sack doesn't stand
    It is a long lane that has no turning.

  2. Proverbs

    There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    Praise youth and it will come.
    A windy day is no day for thatching.
    It takes a rogue to catch a rogue.
    The cleverest hens lay out.
    The darkest clouds have a silver lining.
    Two people of the same trade never agree.
    Young fools are many, but old fools are worse than any.
