  1. Do not count the chickens before they come out of the shells.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A small house well filled and a small farm well tilled.
    Every dog is stiff at his own door.
    Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, weathy and wise.
    It's a wise man that minds his own business.
    A man that won't carry his own coat on the fine day won't have it on the wet day.
