    It's a long lane that has no turn
    The help of God is nearer then the door
    There is many a slip "twix" the cup and the lip.
    There is no hearth-stone like your own hearth-stone
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    Ill is the wind that blows nothing good.
    When you have your hand in the dogs mouth it is not easy to get it out
    He who digs a pit for others may often fall in himself
    Beware of he who standest still
    And looks as if a sleeper
    Where the water sounds the least
    The river runs the deeper
