    Old Sayings
    Its a long road that has no turning.
    The longer the way the wearier.
    Its an ill wind that blows nobody good.
    Nothing becomes a man so badly as a shabby nose.
    The early bird gets the early worm.
    As you rear our pup you have your little dog.
    Between two stools you come to the ground.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    Praise the youth and it will come with you .Empty vessels make most sound.
    One swallow never made a Summer.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    You have to creep before you walk.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Look before you leap.
    Young fools make many but an old fool
