  1. Fair and easy goes far in the day.
    The early bird gets the early worm.
    It's hard to get feathers of a frog
    A fly is of small account till he gets into your eye.
    Good goods in small parcels.
    He that sups with the devil would want a long spoon.
    The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path.
    Never take the book by the cover
