   All that glitters is not gold.
   When the cat is out the mouse can play.
   The more hurry the less speed.
   The good hurler is always on the fence.
   If you dont show you wont sell.
   You cant whistle and eat meal.
   Empty vessels make the most sound.
   Far away fields are always green.
   You cant put a young head on old shoulders.
   There is no hearthstone like your own.
   Birds of a feather flock to gether.
   A roling stone gathers no moss.
   A stitch in time saves nine.
   Early to bed, early to rise makes a man heathy, wealthy and wise.
   A shut mouth catches no flies.
   An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
   A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
   The early bird gets the early worm.
   Health is better than wealth.
   The nature of a cat breaks out through
