- Hills are green far away.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A windy day is not a thatching day.
The sea claims its own always.
A good name is better than riches.
Beware of entrance to a quarrel.
Evil company corrupts good manners.
Health is worth more than wealth.
Quarrelsome folks have few friends.
Stones of worth are thinly placed.
Virtue is itself its best reward.
Debt is worst kind of poverty.
Crown every day with a good action.
Better to die than lie.
After a storm comes calm.
A good beginning is half the work.
