    The people of olden times had a good knowledge of old proverbs. Some of them are:-
    "Eating and drinking should not keep us from thinking."
    "A rolling stone gathers no moss."
    "Revenge is the only debt, which is wrong to pay."
    "The early bird catches the worm."
    "Willful waste makes woeful want."
    "A chair unsound soon finds the ground."
    "Second thoughts are often best."
    "Half a loaf is better than no bread."
    "One to day is worth two tomorrow."
    "Money is a good servant, but a bad master."
    "Health is better than wealth."
