    It's a long road that had no turn in it a borrowed horse has hard hooves.

    It's a long road that had no turn in it.
    A borrowed horse has hard hooves.
    Never judge a book by the cover.
    The man that drinks little drinks too much.

    You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
