  1. A half a loaf is better than no bread.
    It is a long road that leads to nowhere.
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    There is as good a fish in the sea as that was ever caught.
    It is an evil wind that blows nobody good.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    Smooth water runs deep.
    If you cannot do a thing right don't do it at all.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
