    The more the hurry the less speed.
    Where there is an if there is a want.
    The older you are the more you learn.
    Early to bed early to rise,
    Makes a man happy healthy and wise.
    It is never to late to learn.
    A watched pot never boils.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    The devil finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    Patience is a virtue have it if you can
