    dry
    A little leak will sink a great ship.
    A person often cuts a rod to beat himself.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
    It is a long road that has no turn.
    Don't judge the book by the cover.
    The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
    Better a good running than a bad standing.
    Don't be swift to speak or slow to learn.
    Alms for the full bag.
    The begining of health is sleep.
    All chip of the same block.
