    healthy, wealthy, and wise.
    Better late than never.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    It's late to spare when all is spent.
    You cannot believe a liar even when he speaks the truth.
    Man proposes but God disposes.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    God helps those who help themselves.
    Laugh and the world will laugh with you.
    No one so deaf as those who don't want to hear.
    Good words are good, but good deeds are much better.
    Empty vessels make most noise.
    Least said easiest mended.
