  1. 1. Save hay while the sun shines
    2. It is never too late to learn.
    3. The longer you live the more you know.
    4. The early bird has the early worm.
    5.This world is all a bubble, this world is all a fleeting show. For man's illusion given. The smile of joy the tear of woe. Deceitful shone deceitful flow. There's nothing true but heaven.
