  1. Tell me with whom you go, and I will tell you what you are.
    Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Much would have more and lost all.
    He ho rises late never does a good day's work.
    Idleness is the parent of want and shame.
    Where there is a will there is always a way.
    Not how long you live but how well.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    Far-away cows wear long horns.
