    Proverbs
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    New broom, step clean.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Empty dishes make the most sound.
    There are good goods in small parcels.
    You can't get blood from a turnip.
    Man proposes but God disposes.
    The truth never choked a man.
    When the wine is in the sense is out.
    Come a day, go a day, God send Sunday.
    Come easely go easely
    Time wont wait for anybody
