  1. Smooth waters run deep.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Hills are green far away.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
    Feast and your halls are crowded, fast and the world goes by.
    Man proposes but God disposes.
    God helps those who helps themselves.
    Plough deep while sluggards sleeps.
    Better late than never.
