  1. A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush.
    Willful waste makes woeful want.
    A windy may fills the hazard with corn and hay.
    Don't crow before you are out of the wood.
    The longer you live the more you will know.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
