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