  1. Put a begger on horse back and he will ride to the devil
    Its better be alone than in bad company
    Charity begins at home.
    Dont beard the lion in his den
    Dont spur a free horse to death.
    Idle hands are an awful affliction
    When the cat is out the mice can play.
    He who loves danger shall perish in it.
    We hear the bees but where is the honey.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
