  1. Still water runs deep.
    A closed mouth catches no flies
    The water that is gone wont work the mill.
    What's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh.
    Nature breaks out in the eyes of a cat.
    You cannot make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Tell me your company and I will tell you who you are.
    In a great soul everything is great.
    Like father like son.
