- Home sweet home, there's no place like home.
Strike the iron while this hot.
The more haste the less speed.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
Give the rod to children when young.
Empty vessels make most noise.
Praise the young and they will come.
Smooth water runs deep.
The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Far away cows wear long horns.
Money makes the mare go whether she likes it or not.
A bird in your hand is better than two in the bush.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Whereever therse a will therse a way.
This is a long road that havent a turn.
