  1. First catch your hare and then cook it.
    After a storm there comes a calm.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
    Truth is great above all things.
    Bread is the staff of life.
    What we have we hold.
    It is a bad wind that does not favour some one.
    Better late than never.
