    Debt is the worst kind of poverty.

    Debt is the worst kind of poverty.
    Kindle the dry sticks and the wet ones will catch.
    He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    Little strokes fell great oaks.
    Leave your jest when it is best.
    Many hands make light work.
    It never rains but it pours
    You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    A bird in the hand is worst two in the bush.
