    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    The early bird catches the early fly.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    A good horse carries his own load.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    Think twice before you speak.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    Look before you leap.
    A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush.
    Do not take the book by the cover.
    One swallow does not make a summer.
