  1. A fool and his money soon part.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
    Many hands make light work.
    To err is human to forgive.
    A cat in gloves catches no mice.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
    Let the young people listen to what the old people say and when danger is near keep out of the way.
    Once down is no battle, keep going and you'll succeed.
