  1. Proverbs

    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise. If you have the name of an early riser you can stay in bed until dinner time. Nature breaks out through the eye of a cat. Empty vessels make most sound. A stitch in time saves nine. Save your hay while the sun shines. The longest way around is the nearest way home.
    Smooth water runs deep.
    Always taking out of the meal tub and never putting in soon comes to the bottom.
