- Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today. It is a long road that has not a turn. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.

Fine feathers make fine birds.
Don't halloo until you are out of the wood.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Hills are green far away.
