  1. There is no place like home.
    Still water runs deep.
    What's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    On his own saddle a man rides safest.
    Blood is thicker than water.
    Dont ever throw out the dirty water until there is clean water in.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Two heads are wiser than one.
