   Wisdom is better than rubies.
   Pride comes before a fall.
   Look before you leap.
   Do as you would be done by.
   People in glass houses should not throw stones.
   Marry in haste and repent at leisure.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
   Never judge a book by the cover.
   Birds of a feather flock together.
   Practice makes perfect.
   Rome was not built in a day.

   Empty vessels make most sound. There is no use shutting the stable door when the horse is gone out. Make hay while the sun shines. Many hands make light work. Cows across the sea have long horns A stitch in time saves nine. All that glitters is not gold. People that live in glass houses should not throw stones Look before you leap. The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.
