    1/ To borrow or beg or give one's own, is the very worst practice that ever was known.
    2/ He that goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.
    3/ Better go to bed supperless, than rise in debt.
    4/ Take each man's censure but reserve thy judgment.
    5/ A stitch in time saves nine.
    6/ A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    7/ A shut fist catches no flys.
    8/ A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
